Presentation: Multi Lingual Applications & i18N & L10N

Give a second life for your applications with a second/third/Nth language(s)/user base(s). Create a multi lingual application to extend your target group. Do it right on the right time with right techniques and prevent any possible future scalability problems. You will be amazed that how easy it is and you will love it! This presentation will explain the theory of creating multi-language applications and methods in ColdFusion with best practices. The main goals will be explaining the theory behind multi-language applications, defining requirements and solutions, and providing best practices with code samples.

Some points that will be covered:

• Explaining the theory for i18N (internationalization), L10N (localization), g11N (globalization) and other known approaches.
• Defining opportunities to create effective solutions such as Java platform tools usage or designing better database.
• Setting up your environment to make multilingual applications easier to write: Code organization, database server settings, ColdFusion server settings, development tools, etc.
• Providing tools which are already available in ColdFusion & Flex & AIR world.
