New Event on June 25 - Webinar on Bidirectional Text (Part 1): The Basics of Bidi

[Rick McGowan]

    Registration is Now Open!

A number of scripts, such as Hebrew, Arabic and Urdu, write their 
letters horizontally on a page or screen, running right to left. A 
complication for these scripts is that other characters, such as digits, 
flow left-to-right, and can occur on the same line, or even alongside 
other left-to-right text, such as Latin. Text that handles both 
right-to-left and left-to-right text is called “bidirectional” text 
(“bidi” in short).

How to handle bidi text on browsers and in other software is challenging 
for both general users and implementers. This webinar will describe the 
basics with examples. It will be followed by a live question-and-answer 
period. A more in-depth question and answer session will take place 
August 13, 2024.

*Who?* If you are a translator/localizers, localization tooling maker, 
I18n infrastructure developer, linguist and language researcher, 
application developer, or a content author, you will want to join us for 
this webinar. Bring your questions to the people involved for the live Q&A.

*When?* Tuesday, 25 June 2024 starting at 8am (San Francisco), 11am (New 
York), and 5pm (Berlin).

Registration is Open Now
