Not that I'm aware of, assuming by i18n you mean a Unicode support library.

There is an "i18n" branch for Boost.Filesystem being actively worked on, but 
that only deals with file and directory names, not the i18n problem as a 
whole.

Incidentally, a Unicode support library is one of the areas where the C++ 
committee's library working group would like to see proposals. In (very 
brief) discussions, two levels of support were of interest. Perhaps "basic" 
and "advanced". I don't recall anyone actually saying what was meant by 
those terms.
