Internationalisation is a Piece of Cake
summary
Covers concrete standards and tools rather than fluff: Unicode, BCP 47 locale tags, the CLDR data set, ICU MessageFormat, the Intl API and FormatJS/react‑intl, plus continuous localization workflows and pitfalls around plural rules, date and number formatting and long German strings; presents code examples and deployment tradeoffs and recommends always letting users pick locale. Watch if you want specific libraries and APIs, practical gotchas and numbers, and an honest account of what worked and what cost time.
