Sacré bleu! The trials and tribulaciones of internationalising your ẨṔṔŁîÇåŤḯṏÑ���
summary
Explains concrete i18n work: company supports 18 locales and the repo uses react-i18next with JSON bundles, browser language detection, and a global language toggle that swaps all components. Shows practical fixes: store timestamps in UTC, use Intl API for dates/numbers/currencies, prefer human translators over Google Translate, and rely on CLDR-aware libraries instead of homegrown parsing. Highlights surprising stats (English ~50% of web content vs ~25% of users, ~21% US speak another language) and demos that pluralization, RTL and non‑Latin fonts actually work.
