Web Quality - Internationalization
The web has no borders.
The web has no borders.
"With the Internet follows an absolute requirement to interchange data in a multiplicity of languages, which in turn utilize a bewildering number of characters."
H. Alvestrand, Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), January 1998.
International Character Sets
All W3C standards (since 1996), including HTML, XHTML and XML define an internal character set called Unicode (ISO 10646).
All modern web browsers natively use this character set. However, most documents transmitted over the internet do not use this Unicode character set.
For this reason, there must be a method for consistent use of character sets in communication between Internet clients (browsers) and Internet servers.
Marking the character set used for each document is crucial for improving website quality.
Always use the following element inside the element:
Replace X with the character set you are using, such as ISO-8859-1, UTF-8 or UTF-16.
International Dates
Do not use date formats like "04-03-02".
The above date can represent March 2, 2004, or March 4, 2002, or April 3, 2002.
The international standard format for dates defined by International Standardization (ISO) is "yyyy-mm-dd", where yyyy is year, mm is month, and dd is day.
If you use the ISO format, most visitors will understand your dates.
