More than Words — Localizing the User Experience

Drupal’s built-in i18n makes it easier than ever to build a multilingual website, but localization is more than just words and Unicode when dealing with CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean). Drupal i18n is a general solution applicable to any language, but there are aspects of the user experience that are specific to language and country which must also be addressed by the developer, including sorting, search indexing, format that cannot be translated, and usability issues caused by CJK input methods. These problems are a blind spot for developers with no experience using CJK, so this session will give you some things to watch out for.
