In this final post of her global coding series, Bettina Becker shares insights on handling translation issues that arise from differences in gender and plurals

Languages vary in their use of casing and the space they occupy in your UI, and learn to avoid translation problems caused by last-minute coding decisions.

Be careful of the way you display not only language options, but how you label fields and controls related to political entities such as states and countries.

Trying to use a single form in all locales is complicated by differences in the display of names, places, and phone numbers; use custom forms instead.

See the ways different countries use calendars and express times and numbers and how this affects your display of dates, times, and amounts.

Different countries and languages express names differently. Bettina Becker shows you how to handle international naming practices in your code.
