Data Visualizations and Internationalization
summary
Shows concrete fixes: use Intl.NumberFormat with notation: "compact" and units to localize large numbers, use Intl.DateTimeFormat.formatRange and consider the TC39 Temporal proposal for time zones, detect and mirror axes for RTL and bi-directional numerals, test emoji variants and consult the anti-defamation league hate on display list, swap fonts/colors per lang via lang selectors, and prefer reusable formatter instances. Gives examples (heart emojis 4× more in French, flower emojis 4× in Arabic) and real bugs to reproduce and fix.
