The World Wide Web: A New World
- World Wide Web and Web Services leads to reexamination of locale model.
Most assumptions have to be given up.
- Questions:
- Where are some operations, in particular localization operations,
done?
- Who decides on preferences, and how are they communicated?
- What kind of fallbacks are available in case some part of the
network is temporarily unaccessible?
- Who has the expertise for appropriate localization, and how can it
be transferred to where it is needed?
- Can the Web help to make localization better and more flexible, and
make localized applications available to more languages and
cultures?
- Thesis: Different 'locale' problems behave very differently on the
Web
- Thesis: The Web brings new challenges, but also new solutions
