wide review. We are looking for comments by <strong>Thursday 1 April</strong>.</p> <p>Sometimes people wonder whether it’s possible to obtain a definitive list of language tags which indicate a RTL base direction, so that there would be no need for separate direction metadata. This article looks into whether that is really feasible. (Spoiler: The W3C Internationalization Working Group believes it is not a feasible approach.)</p> <p>Please send any comments as github issues by <a href="https://github.com/w3c/i18n-drafts/issues/new?title=[questions/qa-direction-from-language]%20%20BRIEF_TITLE_GOES_HERE&body=%5Bsource%5D%20(https%3A%2F%2Fw3c.github.io%2Fi18n-drafts%2Fquestions%2Fqa-direction-from-language)%20%5Ben%5D%0A%0A">clicking on this link</a>, or on “Leave a comment” at the bottom of the article.

It describes the ways in which texts that are semantically equivalent can be encoded differently and the impact this has on matching operations important to formal languages. Topics include normalization and case folding.</p> <div class="admin"> <span class="comments-link"><a href="https://www.w3.org/blog/International/2019/02/04/working-group-note-character-model-for-the-world-wide-web-string-matching/#respond">Leave a comment</a></span> </div> <div class="cats"> Tags: <strong><a href="https://www.w3.org/blog/International/tag/tr-charmod-norm/" rel="tag">tr-charmod-norm</a></strong> </div> <div class="cats">Categories: <strong><a href="https://www.w3.org/blog/International/category/x/highlight/" rel="category tag">Highlight</a>, <a href="https://www.w3.org/blog/International/category/new-resource/" rel="category tag">New resource</a>, <a href="https://www.w3.org/blog/International/category/x/w3csemanticweb/" rel="category tag">w3cSemanticWeb</a>, <a href="https://www.w3.org/blog/International/category/x/w3cwebarchitecture/" rel="category tag">w3cWebArchitecture</a>, <a href="https://www.w3.org/blog/International/category/x/w3cwebdesign/" rel="category tag">w3cWebDesign</a>, <a href="https://www.w3.org/blog/International/category/x/w3cwebofdevices/" rel="category tag">w3cWebOfDevices</a>, <a href="https://www.w3.org/blog/International/category/x/w3cwebservices/" rel="category tag">w3cWebServices</a>, <a href="https://www.w3.org/blog/International/category/x/w3cwebuseragents/" rel="category tag">w3cWebUserAgents</a>, <a href="https://www.w3.org/blog/International/category/x/w3cxmlcore/" rel="category tag">w3cXMLCore</a></strong></div> </div> </div> <?php// endif; ?>   <div class="pubdata"> <div class="date"><time datetime=2019-01-23>January 23, 2019</time></div> </div> <div class="resource"> <h3> <a href="https://www.w3.org/blog/International/2019/01/23/one-new-one-updated-article-published/" title="Permanent link to full entry">One new, one updated article published</a> </h3> <div class="description"> <p><a href="https://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-text-processing-vs-metadata" style="font-size: 120%">Types of language declaration</a> describes how ‘metadata’ and ‘text-processing’ language declarations differ.</p> <p><a href="https://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-http-and-lang" style="font-size: 120%">HTTP headers, meta elements and language information</a> has been updated to read better, and the information that was to become the previously mentioned article was removed.</p> <div class="admin"> <span class="comments-link"><a href="https://www.w3.org/blog/International/2019/01/23/one-new-one-updated-article-published/#respond">Leave a comment</a></span> </div> <div class="cats"> Tags: <strong><a href="https://www.w3.org/blog/International/tag/qa-http-and-lang/" rel="tag">qa-http-and-lang</a>, <a href="https://www.w3.org/blog/International/tag/qa-text-processing-vs-metadata/" rel="tag">qa-text-processing-vs-metadata</a></strong> </div> <div class="cats">Categories: <strong><a href="https://www.w3.org/blog/International/category/x/highlight/" rel="category tag">Highlight</a>, <a href="https://www.w3.org/blog/International/category/new-resource/" rel="category tag">New resource</a>, <a href="https://www.w3.org/blog/International/category/x/multilingweb/" rel="category tag">notify-multilingweb</a>, <a href="https://www.w3.org/blog/International/category/x/webi18n/" rel="category tag">notify-webi18n</a>, <a href="https://www.w3.org/blog/International/category/update/" rel="category tag">Update</a>, <a href="https://www.w3.org/blog/International/category/x/w3csemanticweb/" rel="category tag">w3cSemanticWeb</a>, <a href="https://www.w3.org/blog/International/category/x/w3cwebarchitecture/" rel="category tag">w3cWebArchitecture</a>, <a href="https://www.w3.org/blog/International/category/x/w3cwebdesign/" rel="category tag">w3cWebDesign</a>, <a href="https://www.w3.org/blog/International/category/x/w3cwebofdevices/" rel="category tag">w3cWebOfDevices</a>, <a href="https://www.w3.org/blog/International/category/x/w3cwebservices/" rel="category tag">w3cWebServices</a>, <a href="https://www.w3.org/blog/International/category/x/w3cwebuseragents/" rel="category tag">w3cWebUserAgents</a>, <a href="https://www.w3.org/blog/International/category/x/w3cxmlcore/" rel="category tag">w3cXMLCore</a></strong></div> </div> </div> <?php// endif; ?>   <div class="pubdata"> <div class="date"><time datetime=2018-07-10>July 10, 2018</time></div> </div> <div class="resource"> <h3> <a href="https://www.w3.org/blog/International/2018/07/10/w3c-launches-internationalization-initiative/" title="Permanent link to full entry">W3C launches Internationalization Initiative</a> </h3> <div class="description"> <p>The W3C today launched the Internationalization Initiative to expand core work in further internationalizing the Web. “Supporting the W3C Internationalization Initiative with funding or expertise is a vital way that our Web community creates the future of the global Web,” said Jeff Jaffe, W3C CEO.
