<p>Hello, UA Colleagues:</p>
<p>You might be interested in reading or watching this presentation
on internationalization activities at the W3C, given by Richard
Ishida to their recent AC 2020 conference: <<a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://www.w3.org/2020/05/AC/talk/i18n">https://www.w3.org/2020/05/AC/talk/i18n</a>>.</p>
<p>The W3C's Internationalization (i18n) Working Group has
similarities to our work in the UASG, in that there is a very
broad ocean of problems to address, and very few people to do it,
and a need to communicate and intervene wisely. As I read
Richard's presentation, I kept having three thoughts:</p>
<ol>
<li>What can we in the UASG learn about methods and tools from
what the W3C i18n group is doing well?</li>
<li>Are we sure that the we have communicated to the W3C i18n
group all of what we believe and recommend, so that the W3C i18n
group can, if they agree with us, communicate our
recommendations as part of their work?</li>
<li>Are we in the UASG hearing the lessons learned by the W3C i18n
group from their work?<br>
</li>
</ol>
<p>Those are deep questions, and I don't expect rapid answers.
However, I think many on this list might find it interesting to
read and or watch Richard's presentation, and consider those
questions.</p>
<p>Best regards,</p>
