Do your regional websites talk funny?

A presentation at CityJS Singapore in July 2023 in Singapore by Chen Hui Jing

This talk will go into detail on specific typography-related CSS for ensuring your site’s content is presented well in your target locale, strategies when it comes to localisation efforts, and some funny anecdotes from my personal experience.

Catching up on the talks I've missed, @hj_chen opening talk so funny, I laugh til die, almost. But got learn new things. Moral of story, i18n is hard: Use a library please, check the numbers in CJK languages, and talk to your designers about the font stack for diff languages.
