Doesn't this one discuss it in chapters 10 and 11, pages 327-399?

The O'Reilly Programmer's Supplement for Release 6 is also good. 
The internationalization stuff changed from R5 to R6.
Here is the TOC.  http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/r6/toc.html

Also, you might be able to get some sample code from the current edict.el
