Questions tagged [internationalization]

Questions about language settings, translations and other matters relating to two or more countries.

Internationalization applies when users want to ask for something that requires knowledge on system differences between countries, like right-to-left writing (e.g., Hebrew alphabet) or translations that use non-alphabetic characters (e.g., Mandarin). It can also be used to ask about international/worldwide events.

This tag is supposed to be used for any question related to more than one country/language.
