Design patterns and guidelines for creating globally accessible applications that work across different languages, cultures, and regions.

🗣️ Languages

Supporting multiple languages requires careful planning for text expansion, font support, and cultural considerations.

  • • Text expansion (up to 300%)
  • • Font and character support
  • • Reading patterns (LTR/RTL)

🌐 Regions

Regional differences go beyond language to include formats, conventions, and cultural expectations.

  • • Date/time formatting
  • • Number and currency formats
  • • Address and phone formats

🎨 Design

Design systems must accommodate various scripts, reading directions, and cultural color meanings.

  • • Layout flexibility
  • • Icon universality
  • • Color cultural meanings
