Internationalisation is Possible!
Its official, I’m proud to announce that my talk on internationalisation in Rails has been accepted and in just under a month I’ll be on stage trying to explain some of the ways that web applications can be translated into other languages.
The approach I’m aiming for with the talk will not be too technical, and I’d like to concentrate more on the design and practical issues that need to be understood to create an internationalised application of any type. These decisions need to be made by everyone, so I’m hoping designers and developers alike will find the talk interesting.
I’m also going for a more positive approach to handling this difficult subject and convince everyone that i18n is a cause worthy of a bit of time and dedication.
Lastly, Its worth mentioning that I do not think Rails should include support for internationalisation out of the box, and I’ll explain why.
… I’d best get on and write it!
