Hands-On Tips For Web Globalization

Email This Entry

Posted by John Yunker

The W3C Internationalization Working Group continues to add valuable resources for those who need hands-on information regarding Web globalization. Need to learn more about internationalized domain names, bidirectional text display, or multilingual style sheets? This is a good place to start. It can be dense at times and challenging to navigate, but there's a lot of solid information there.

I found this Web page particularly interesting. It contains demonstration Web pages to illustrate key issues and techniques. For example, the screen shot below is from a page in which you can test your Web browser's ability to display and respond to internationalized domain names.
