Firefox OS required a fast and lean localization method that could scale up to 70 languages, cater to the needs of hundreds of developers worldwide all speaking different languages and support a wide spectrum of devices with challenging hardware specs.
At the end of September, I went to Poznań to speak about localization technology in Firefox OS at Meet.js Summit. In my talk I discussed how we had been able to create a localization framework which embraces new Web technologies like Web components and mutation observers, how we'd come up with new developer tools to make localization work easier and what exciting challenges lay ahead of us.
