Data Visualizations, Internationalization and Covid-19
summary
Worked on Adobe visualizations to add full international support, showing concrete fixes: replace hard‑coded formatting with Intl.NumberFormat with notation: "compact" and use date/time ranges via Intl.DateTimeFormat, handle non‑Western grouping (Tamil/Hindi), and support bi-directional numbers and right‑to‑left layouts (Hebrew/Arabic) including flipped axes. Demonstrates timezone pitfalls (30/45 minute offsets, DST), emoji font differences (Emojipedia examples), and cultural color/icon swaps. Mentions practical tools: react‑intl/formatjs, moment.js, Airbnb/Kent C. CSS direction helpers and Unicode caveats round out the checklist.
