Welcome! You are invited to join a webinar: Bidirectional Text (Part 3): Mastering Bidirectional Content for Translators and Localizers. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the webinar.

This event is the last of a three-part series on bidirectional text (โ€œbidiโ€). Bidi is a feature of certain scripts โ€“ such as Arabic, Hebrew, and Urdu โ€“ that write their letters horizontally right-to-left on a page or screen, whereas other characters, such as digits, flow left-to-right โ€“ hence the name โ€œbidirectionalโ€. Part 3 will discuss common issues in handling right-to-left and left-to-right text, especially the challenges faced by RTL translators, and what they can do to mitigate challenges when using existing translation tools. This event will explore how Bidi text functionality is implemented and supported across platforms, with examples drawn from different platforms, including Wikipedia, which handles content in over 300 languages, including 16 right-to-left (RTL) languages. This session is ideal for translators, localizers, linguists, developers, and anyone interested in multilingual content management and Bidi functionality. Attendees are encouraged to watch the Bidirectional Text Part 1: "The Basics of Bidi" and Part 2: "Delving Into Bidi" session recordings for background on the topic. Both links can be found in the Supporting Resources sections.
