Calendar / Kalender / Tawqīm (aka, the fun of locali[zs]ation)
summary
A Booking.com calendar component supporting 42 languages is examined, including concrete internationalization engineering issues and fixes rather than general advice. The implementation uses Moment.js and a jQuery UI date picker and required RTL mirroring, locale-specific first-day-of-week logic, and culture-aware color choices; real bugs covered include disappearing reservations during Brazilian DST transitions, a three-week bug fixed by changing startOfDay vs add(1, 'day'), and CSS overflow hiding prices, with demos and affected-user counts.
