If localization is something you need to have on a Web site, you may want to start at the Unicode CLDR page (http://cldr.unicode.org/) which compiles a variety of charts and some guides.

There are other resources available including several from IBM listed below:

These resources are generally aimed for the programmer audience, but there are interesting nuggets for the non-programmer as well.
