I’m really pleased to say that I’ve been accepted into the Web Standards Project (WaSP) International Liaison Group (ILG).
Whilst always having an eye on making web sites accessible with a view to what’s going on globally, this gives me a great opportunity to roll my sleeves up and start looking at how standards work together to make the web more available regardless of who’s accessing, where and how.
Internationalization (referred to as i18n for short) looks at how to make web technologies work with different languages, scripts, and cultures. It’s a web standard, just as web accessibility and the mobile web are, promoted by the W3C as well as WaSP.
I’m looking forward to learning from the impressive list of people from around the world involved in ILG whilst contributing to both the group and everybody I work with on a day to day basis. Over the coming weeks I’ll be writing more about what i18n is and how it helps not just your users but also your business and is an integral part of good web design for all.
