Awesome.

Hi, everyone.

And welcome to the talk.

If you're if you're feeling sad that my voice is broken, uh, you have a gentleman to tank that for, So I do not regret that.

Uh, but hi.

And welcome to the talk.

I I'm withdrawal I and plan to work.

I work on No, Jess.

And a lot of stuff, as I told you.

But talking about internationalization today, I'm sorry I just early was not not in the right kind of boot, but so because I have to make this about myself first, uh, I work on new togs.

Uh, all solectron, Uh, and I contribute to different projects in the JavaScript ecosystem.

Now, that includes V eight and best 262 That's how I'm barely qualified enough to talk about this subject.

Uh, because I were done.

Some of the stuff, Dad, uh, relates to this right.

And also live beauty and related things in the ecosystem.

I'm a student.

As they pointed out, I been working with Google Summer of Code for the past couple of years, and I'm speaking This is not for you.

This is for me to reassure myself all the time.

times like you got this.

But so yeah, I about the talk, actually.

So we need to talk.

Ah, so we know how this works, right?

A couple of months ago, I I submit a CFB proposal for something that I want to work on.

Eso.

A lot of months ago, I was working on these things.

It was like, Oh, it was so amazing to Dr People about.

And I I need a C f B proposal for this and I start working on the talk and I realized that I will be talking at the awesome at just gone.

Fraser Thio, you're some people about this subject and a super stoked One of my friends in Russia set up a meet a group like to do for me to test this talk out.

I went to the media group.

Amazing young, daunted software engineers sitting down.

Listen to this guy about internationalization, and I completely tanked the presentation like it's it was so terrible that I like I got chilled.

Still, I'm getting flashbacks, so I thought maybe I could like of course, you're not as critical or savages the like Russians.

They were like, Oh, no, but I thought I had the courage to come up to the stage and talk to you guys about that presentation.

I think I do not, Uh, so let's skip it.

It's It's super boring anyway, So, yeah, a lot of stuff I had when?

But oh, we have atmosphere proposals, Right?

Who cares?

So, yeah, you ever done?

I skipped the entire presentation like, three minutes.

So yeah, I don't want to bore you.

Actually, now that we have a bunch of time and I'm a speaker and I've got your years, let's talk about something else.

Something that we all care about.

Oh, if anybody's like even borderline said that that I You did not get to hear about what you came here for.

Let me tell you about a cool website that I found on the Internet.

It's It's super amazing.

You can get so the deal.

How this works is you can just go to a website and you'll get my entire talk.

It's called Indian, so yeah, that that was that was the original top U.

S O.

If you scan this cure, you are code.

You go directly to the internationalization page.

Uh, I'm sorry I cannot like, calm a pair and talk to your people about like the nitty gritty of the A P I.

You just hate me for that.

Uh, so yet go there and this will drop it directly to the intel.

Pidge.

Let's talk about something else.

Let's forget about the talk.

It was boring and pretty much useless.

Let's talk about software development.

Right is I hope everybody.

It's okay with that.

And let's talk about soft development because suffers hard, right?

I mean, so let's get this straight.

Like you all spent, like at least three important days of your life and pretty much like most probably a lot of money.

Ah, $1000 stick it just gone fright.

And, like, travel all that stuff to listen to a bunch of nerds talking about nerdy stuff like Why?

Why would he do that?

Right?

You could spend that time doing nice things.

You did that because software is hard.

It's really hard to do software and you want to, like, do it better do it more efficiently.

You know what else is hard currencies?

So So I mean, one of the things that I do is I asked engineers to do when Then you go back to your company, find the guy who works with, find the guy of the Persian workingman currencies and payments and hugged them like, really, they're miserable because currency is our heart.

And if you think oranges are hard like me, the reason for that might not be that you're as bad off the developers I am, because currencies are hard for everyone, like the people who you look up to, like all the damn time, screw up with currencies all the damn time.

So they would be Google's, like zero United States dollars.

Some arbitrary amount of heroes with my three euros or it's it sucks when you read your undefined civic type R of the How do I pay you, like not a number dollars right?

Or when you get a leap lately because you do not know how to play like this to your dollars?

Oh, our Bethesda like a that that's an awesome T shirt.

I definitely pay that much for that.

Yeah, and what Spotify like You don't expect smart if I do this like do I pay in Pont du I pay in dollars?

Do I pay neither of those.

And also, like, obviously the almighty euro dollar.

So it's euro is dollar.

It's your other euro.

The next time the help I and you know you know, this this is like, if you if you work on product stuff, if you work in design, this is these are the critical, like microseconds, right?

These are the critical microseconds.

We have already converted to use their waiting to make that payment.

And he uses basically like, shut up and take my money.

Like just this is the body with very do not screw up, right?

Everything else you got a free pass, but like, do not through our payments because, like you finally convinced them to pay you.

That's amazing, right?

Some people kind of get it, though.

I mean, like, uh, like a lot of things about some of the Google Web sites for jump.

When I was giving this talk in Russia, uh, like I already tank the top talk, and they were deporting me.

Uh uh.

But they detected that that I was in Russia and that I'd probably used roubles.

Do go.

And so they deported me.

Tow the next light.

Mr.

Latvia So I ended up being in Latvia and I took over.

Go back over somehow.

So and then they detected I I had to use euros and then coming hair from home.

I n r you go there, you can go there right now.

It probably attack.

You're in Singapore and just show you all the things.

An SUV.

And that's Grady's experience.

Right?

So So how is this done?

Like like get me through this.

It's easy so that no hard rules, really straightforward.

So in the in the English speaking world, it's fairly easy, right?

So we use this is as God intended it debate.

We have the decimal point when it needs to be had the Kama separators dollars bounds and euros of your island.

Uh, but but things as soon as you move out of the English speaking, worked in stock to get complicated so you can have like, yeah, yeah, you're I get that like, but why that that defies mathematics.

That's not like a valid number.

That's why would you do that?

It was like Europeans like, Oh, it's okay.

Like so many people live in Europe and, like, have some contacts about this It's like it's fair to assume like 80% of the people in the world would probably have some idea about this format.

So it's like it's still dead if you're good with this one.

And LA Julian's So Latin's used to use a space for, like, the the limitation on Like what it's like.

That's not what do you use basis for, but okay, at least they're not using stabs so and then it's like, Is that a fraction?

Like what I do?

I have to do Matt every time.

Like all right.

At first, the Japanese rob dropped the fraction because there's no fraction, but like so So an Indonesian people, right in the Indonesian people in the audience.

Good.

Like right.

We need to talk.

So what the hell is this?

What the hell is this?

Because that that is totally 1.235 I'm gonna come up to you, and I gotta pay 1.235 Not it starts going reaching levels off like confusing mess.

But it's like I'm not even joking anymore.

Right?

So the Swiss franc using the apostrophe, it is not a valid number, but it's a valid strain guys.

And so this is interesting.

If you're Canadian, you should, like, reconsider life choices because so I'm not shitting you when I say if you're in Canada, if the person like the format in which you write the currency depends on which language the person is speaking in, so you ride that.

If they're speaking English, you write this.

If they're speaking French, it's like out.

How do you do to remind that's like, Do do their tag.

It's like it's it's French and then people like a sumo.

They're they're probably not a smart but but yeah, it doesn't have to be that way.

So let's talk about the most important thing.

Life.

Let's talk about anxiety.

That anxiety is what I feel when I'm working multiple currencies, and it doesn't have to be that way.

Let's fix this.

So we did, uh, if you go to your browser.

If you go to your friend friendly browser right now or no, Jess, and try this a b I.

So you go currency, you go Canadian dollars Boom English.

You got that French.

You got that and it's like it.

That's just one currency in two languages.

You can.

You can try that with all combinations.

It just works.

It takes out, like so you can have variables for the currency and for the language.

And then, like, you can take the guesswork out of the bringing.

You can just do not use a static strength, just like number.

Format your currencies.

And so I'm sorry.

Right foot for what I'm going to say next.

But I have bad news.

It's like I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it's not just currencies that are hard, right?

Internationalization is art.

It's really damn hard.

So so, actually, oh, uh, this is that way.

We have a small problem.

Uh, so I was trying to talk about a lot of other things, actually, just one next thing.

But the problem about this is I cannot, I think, uh, because, like, AA, lot of you are not as smart as me and do not know as much, Matt.

So I think we need to, like, revisit some of the fundamentals If I want to want you to be at the same level of thinking as me.

I am, Of course.

So let's let's take a couple of minutes to revisit the fundamentals, if that's okay.

Yeah.

First class of kindergarten counting.

So?

So let's let's start counting.

And you'll love cats, right?

So So let's count cats.

So you're one ghat.

You're six cats and you have 0.7 cats.

No, don't ask me how that works.

Maybe maybe you have, like, nine roommates and seven cats between all of you.

But like, yeah, so but like if you, uh, see the bad in here, English has like two.

When it comes to polarization, English is like do things, which is one not one, which is, like, pretty simple.

It's like it's either one or not one like it might be a fraction.

It might be like non one number, but it's not one and globalization is easy.

Life is good.

Ah, let's actually let's let's move on to a different breed of cats Velshi cats and counting Welsh cats gives Europa.

Todd, you're one gap 1.5 gap.

If do gap you three gaps.

You're six shop, you're 40 do cat.

So polarization is easy in English and that's just that's just a second language that just vouch and feels like so do super duper close to England, right?

It's like, how do you fuck that up?

But, uh, you go to like countries across the Arab because, like, four through reforms and like languages of like, floor forms.

So English has, like, one and other and other languages that few and many and like, how do you determine that?

It's like it's so hard to figure this stuff out, but it doesn't have to be.

So you have a plural rules A B I for stuff like this.

So you can you can tell it, okay, English us like we've jerking, but, uh, be artist like zero, it will throw up other Europe on five.
