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).<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
<b>Who?</b> 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.<br>
<br>
<b>When?</b> Tuesday, 25 June 2024 starting at 8am (San Francisco),
11am (New York), and 5pm (Berlin).<br>
