Internationalization Webinar
June 12th, 2008
We thought it would be good to mention in this issue, though
a tad early on logistics, a webinar opportunity coming up in
June. In cooperation with Enlaso, one of our premier localization
partners, we’ll be presenting Internationalization Fundamentals:
making your code world-ready, in early June. The webinar will
be led by Cary Clark, Lingoport’s lead Globalization
Architect. The webinar will feature discussions involving:
• Locale supporting architecture
• Character Encoding
• Databases
• Strings
And references from our experiences internationalizing so many
products in so many programming languages.
The material will be geared to developers and technical managers.
The webinar will be approximately 2-hours in length. Audience
size will be limited to enable better chances for interaction.
There will be a $149 charge to attend this webinar; however,
we’ll be able to offer an early bird discount to you,
if you just email webinar@lingoport.com asking
for details.

the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
 Given JavaScript's status as the de facto browser client scripting
language, and given the international nature of the Internet,
it was inevitable that JavaScript and internationalization (i18n)
would eventually cross paths. While JavaScript is not completely
without international capabilities and functionality, it does
have its share of challenges and faults. This article briefly
discusses some of what to expect of JavaScript in an international
web application – what works (the good), what to watch
out for (the bad), and what to avoid (the ugly).
