I was forwarded a job ad in Monster today from a company looking for a Sr. Web Designer. The reason this ad is of interest to me is one of the job requirements:

·Experience with site globalization and the development of an international presence in Web-based solutions

Two years ago, I rarely would have come across an ad like this. But I'm starting to see more and more job ads for Web designers, information architects, and usability pros that ask for knowledge of and/or experience with Web globalization -- another sign that Web globalization has gone mainstream.
