#i18n

Expand products to global markets through localization strategy. I18n (internationalization) setup: 1. UTF-8 encoding for multi-byte characters. 2. Externalize all text strings (no hardcoded text). 3. Date/time formatting for different regions (MM/DD vs DD/MM). 4. Number formatting (comma vs. period for decimals). 5. Currency display and payment methods. L10n (localization) priorities: 1. Market research: size, competition, local regulations. 2. Language selection: start with highest ROI languages. 3. Cultural adaptation: colors, images, local customs. 4. Legal compliance: GDPR, local privacy laws, tax rules. Translation workflow: 1. Professional translators for marketing content. 2. Translation management system (Lokalise, Phrase). 3. Context provision: screenshots, user flows for translators. 4. In-country review: native speakers validate translations. Testing: pseudo-localization, text expansion (German 35% longer than English), RTL languages.
