On 18th October Richard Ishida and Addison Phillips gave a talk entitled

Towards the Promised Land: Globalization Developments in Web Standards

at the Internationalization & Unicode Conference in Santa Clara, California, USA.

The talk describes what we are doing to address unsolved issues on the Web, and how you can influence the outcomes. It includes references to the latest, ongoing work in HTML5 and CSS3.

On the previous day, Richard Ishida presented his half-day tutorial

An Introduction to Writing Systems & Unicode

مقدمة لموقع تدويل الشبكة العالمية (Getting Started with the W3C I18n site)

تعريف أطقم المحارف والترميزات (Introducing Character Sets and Encodings)

اللغة والشبكة العالمية (Language on the Web)

These articles were translated into Arabic thanks to Mohamed Fares.

The Internationalization Activity home page has recently been ported to WordPress. This means that the URIs for the various RSS feeds have changed. You can find the new links at the page W3C I18n news filters and RSS feeds.

The current URIs will continue to work for a short while, to support the transition, but you should change as soon as possible.

URIs for category filters have also changed, as have those for search key text within posts (useful for finding the history of a particular article or document). The latter have been converted to tags.

The MultilingualWeb Workshop in Limerick was once more a success, thanks to the efforts of the excellent speakers and the local organizers, but also thanks this time to the participants themselves who enthusiastically took part in the Open Space discussion organized by TAUS. This will hopefully lead to some longer term initiatives, and most groups are already planning to continue their discussions in Luxembourg, next Spring. We had around 90 attendees.

The program page has now been updated to point to speakers’ slides and to the relevant parts of the IRC logs. Links to video recordings will follow shortly.

There will also be a page pointing to social media reports, such as blog posts, tweets and photos, related to the workshop. If you have any blog posts, photos, etc. online, please let Richard Ishida know (ishida@w3.org) so that we can link to them from this page.

A summary report of the workshop will follow a little later.

One tutorial and two articles have been updated, and a new article has been created from material that was moved out of the tutorial. The updates all involve major rewrites of the former text. These changes incorporate up-to-date information about how language declarations are handled in HTML5, and generally refresh and improve the previous material.

The new articles are:

Working with language in HTML (tutorial)

Why use the language attribute?

Declaring language in HTML

HTTP headers, meta elements and language information

All articles use a new HTML5-based template with additional change to the boilerplate code.
