#internationalization

As technology continues to advance at an unprecedented rate, it is becoming increasingly important for those in the tech industry to understand the ethical implications of their work. The decisions that engineers and tech leads make can have far-reaching consequences for individuals, communities, and even entire societies. Without a solid understanding of computer ethics, it is all too easy for technology to be developed and deployed in ways that harm rather than help.
In this talk, we will discuss the importance of computer ethics in  tech and why it is crucial that engineers and tech leads receive training in this area. We will cover a range of topics, including ethical considerations surrounding data collection and privacy, algorithmic bias and fairness, and the ethical implications of emerging technologies such as AI and robotics. Drawing on both my own experience as a software engineer and relevant case studies, we will review examples of how ethical considerations have played out in real-world scenarios. Finally, we will discuss how engineers and tech leads can integrate ethical considerations into their work.  
Computer ethics is an important and relevant topic that deserves more attention. As technology continues to evolve and become more intertwined with our daily lives, it is essential that we ensure that those responsible for designing and developing these technologies understand the ramifications of their work. 
In the fast-evolving tech world, grasping computer ethics is vital. Tech choices impact people and society profoundly. This talk stresses ethics training for engineers, covering data privacy, bias, AI, and real-world cases. It's essential as tech becomes integral to daily life.

AI chatbots are closest to a human conversation model which makes communication effortless and accurate. It can be powerful tool for translating smaller chunks of text presented in common languages. Learn how compelling chatbot prompts can revolutionize your communication and translate hundreds of documents enriched with HTML text formatting and code blocks in one chat.

Accessibility, better DX, and performance get a lot of attention as it improves better UX significantly. Plus, it gives satisfaction to devs by seeing the significant improvements. But how about internationalization? A fun fact: Over 70% of the users in the world access non-English content. In this talk, I'll show you more surprising facts about internationalization and what are scalable approaches. You'll see examples with libraries for frameworks with a few different logic to implement different internationalization layouts.

At Adobe we build products for the world, this talk with provide a high level overview of internationalization (i18n), globalization (g11n), and localization (l10n) best practices. Why these are important and how to implement in design, UX, and within any JS codebase - using vanilla JS examples, and top open source library recommendations.

i18n isn't easy, but with careful planning of your content model I'll show you how to structure the setup, authoring, and querying of localized content. Covering whole-or-part translated documents, the difference between market and language-specific content, ways to author that in a CMS like Sanity, and ways to query for it on frontends like Next.js and Remix.

Structuring your content with Sanity.io means you can query content based on signals from your visitors, such as their location. Personalisation is a tricky problem with static sites and the jamstack, this demo will show you how it can be done with Sanity.io, Next.js, and Vercel.

There are some great libraries that help with i18n in React, but surprisingly little guidance on how to handle i18n end-to-end. This talk will discuss best practices and practical advice for handling translations in React. We will discuss how to extract strings from your code, how to manage translation files, how to think about long-term maintenance of your translations, and even avoiding common pitfalls where single-language developers tend to get stuck.

Did you know that 50% of users will NOT use the English version of your application, if it supports multiple languages? For ambitious high-growth businesses, going global is not "if" but "when" so it's important to recognize the importance of localization, especially in large multi-team projects. This discussion will explore the depths of localization in Agile companies and what can be achieved with a Continuous Localization system. I'll share some common issues we faced with multi-language products and how localization automation helped us to scale the process across many product teams within the company.

Why does '👩🏿‍🎤'.length = 7? Is JavaScript UTF-8 or UTF-16? What happens under the hood when you set ? Have you ever wondered how emoji and complex scripting languages are encoded to work correctly across browsers and devices - for billions of people around the world? Or how new emoji are introduced and approved? Have you ever seen one of these: □ � “special” glyph characters before and want more information on why they might appear and how to avoid them in the future? Let’s talk about Unicode encoding in JavaScript and across the world wide web! We’ll go over best practices, common pitfalls, and provide resources to learn more - even where to go if you want to submit a new emoji proposal! :)

Learning 100 different languages is challenging, but architecting your React app to support 100 languages doesn't have to be. As your web application grows to a global audience, multilingual functionality becomes increasingly essential. So, how do you design your code such that it is flexible enough to include all of your international users? In this talk, we will explore what it means and what it looks like to build a React app that supports internationalization (i18n). You will learn several different strategies for locale-proofing your application with React contexts and custom hooks.
