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. <a href="https://www.froala.com/wysiwyg-editor?pb=1"> </a>

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. <a href="https://www.froala.com/wysiwyg-editor?pb=1"> </a>

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. <a href="https://www.froala.com/wysiwyg-editor?pb=1"> </a>
