MessageFormat: The Future of i18n on the Web

Presentation byUjjwal Sharma

Internationalization in JavaScript and on the web platform is very complicated, but also vastly important for us developers in order to build accessible and intelligible interfaces. Thankfully, Unicode Consortium's MessageFormat working group and TC39 have been hard at work standardizing the next generation of i18n tooling that aims to unify analogous non-standard tools in use today while approaching this problem from a fresh perspective.

Join me along this tour of i18n in JavaScript, discover some of the newest additions to the toolkit and learn about the ongoing MessageFormat proposal and how it aims to radically improve the developer experience.

AmsterdamJS

AmsterdamJS is the largest and longest-running JavaScript meetup in town!

JavaScript has a bright shining future and the Amsterdam tech scene is thriving. Although there are vibrant user meetups and conferences on related topics, the city needs a strong and all-embracing JavaScript community and AmsterdamJS is it, since 2010.

Our goal is to cover everything JavaScript, from the browser to the server, from the framework to the crazy hack and from the hardware appliance to the data visualization. We also run an annual conference - JSNation
