Make apps for a global audience - Naomi Meyer
summary
Shows concrete fixes: using Intl.NumberFormat with notation: "compact" to replace buggy K suffixes (demoed on Gapminder), applying dateTimeFormat ranges and timezone fixes that were implemented at Adobe so “today” stops jumping, and handling RTL with react-with-direction and RTL CSS tools so axes and numerals render correctly (including Eastern Arabic digits). Cites libraries used—react-intl, moment.js, FBT—plus emoji and color research (700 million Arabic speakers, regional emoji usage) and real localization gotchas.
