Global-Ready Architecture (i18n)

Built for Scale Across Borders

Internationalisation (i18n) is the practice of engineering an application so that it can be adapted to various languages and regions without architectural changes. It's about building a foundation that welcomes the world.

My Approach to i18n:

  • Externalised Text: All user-facing text is stored in language-specific resource files, never hard-coded. This allows professional translators to work on content without ever touching the application's source code.
  • Dynamic Layout Support: I ensure the UI gracefully handles languages with different character lengths and directional needs, including Right-to-Left (RTL) scripts like Arabic and Hebrew.
  • Locale-Aware Formatting: Dates, times, numbers, and currencies are formatted automatically according to the user's local conventions, providing a natural and intuitive experience.

By planning for internationalisation from the start, we create a product that is ready to scale globally, opening the door to new markets without costly re-engineering.

Is your budget too small?

Probably not. I work with early-stage ideas and lean projects all the time. Let’s talk about what’s possible within your means:
