Localization (l10n)

Part of the Frontend Developer Roadmap.

Summary

Adapting content for a specific locale beyond just translation — date/number/currency formats, right-to-left layouts, and culturally appropriate imagery.

How to Learn This

  • 1Format a date and a currency value using `Intl.DateTimeFormat`/`Intl.NumberFormat` for 2-3 locales.
  • 2Test your layout in a right-to-left language (Arabic/Hebrew) if relevant to your audience.
  • 3Learn the distinction: i18n is the technical capability, l10n is the actual content adaptation.
