Re: [UA-discuss] Completing the Internationalization Equation

André, Thanks for taking the time to explore this. I find it interesting and worth replicating. The Japanese search term (based on Google search results) points to UASG’s 005 (Japanese version) and a JPRS webpage about UA. I wonder if there are other localizations of the term “universal acceptance” that are being used in other parts of the world.

Basically it involves considering for some X whether X is fully internationalised and, if not, making it, if possible, fully/further internationalized ie completing the internationalisation equation. WRT to UA I consider this involves integrating UA into the much broader context of Internationalization of the internet. There are simple actions we can all individually take to complete the internationalisation equation. There are many opportunities to complete this equation. There will be opportunities I have not thought of. Let me give you an example of something I did recently. I looked at the Alexa stats alexa.com/siteinfo/uasg.tech#trafficstats<https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/uasg.tech#trafficstats> for uasg.tech<http://uasg.tech> and discovered that one of the top keywords from search engines was, and still is, at time of writing, ユニバーサルアクセプタンス. This is "Universal Acceptance" written in Japanese Katakana. I then made a connection with twitter. If you look at twitter.com/ICANN/status/1106344430053650432<http://twitter.com/ICANN/status/1106344430053650432> you will see I replied with the hashtag #ユニバーサル・アクセプタンス. I used a slightly different form to the Alexa listed keyword. I separated the two words with the Katakana middle dot. Another simple method for completing the equation is for those of you that have your personal name(s) in both romanised and native script forms then use both forms in your emails to this list. Any other thoughts for how the internationalization equation can be completed? André Schappo

Dear all: I’m looking to update UASG004 – our Test Suite and I’d like to add three new references: German eszet Character Fuß.ua-test.link Greek name ending with ς To be configured Arabic names with Indic digits and joiners To be configured Can I please have reasonable suggestions for the second two names? I think the Greek name can be within one of our existing ASCII names as a third level. I ope that we can do the same with our existing Arabic Name, which I think is اختبار-القبول-العالمي.شبكة Thanks.

Hello Friends, I am pleased to share the Software Product Policy by Government of India. It is first time GOI recognizes software product separately. In this policy, we are successfully able to get the following. "Industry will be encouraged and incentivised to develop products to overcome language barriers across major Indian Languages and to create technological bridges between them and major international languages including English."Here is the link to policy : https://www.meity.gov.in/writereaddata/files/national_policy_on_software_pr… is huge break through supporting UA mission and hopefully in future software products produced will be UA ready by default.This is something we can try to replicate in respective regions.

Hello Mike Awkwardly no, I am not naming myself for UAA ? Universal Acceptance Ambassador I be ascertain of do present charter of UASG allow us to designated names for UAA? As in past also all people who were appointed was a sole decision of UASG administrative group and no proposals or endorsements were taken from UASG community. I agree that it’s commendable about Aj who progressed toward becoming Chair. It would be decent for us to see update each month from his leadership team however as mentioned in formerly that past appointments of UAA Universal Acceptance Ambassador term is already pass away so without being prejudiced about few individuals, UASG administrative group must appoint new UAA who have already shown their interest in past, if they want community to contribute and help is choosing right UAA they must amend their present charter and seek support community members. Yes Aj has noteworthy remarks about his enthusiasm for UA and working with groups so I look forward for his similar approach in taking quick decisions which will be transparent and in interest of UASG.
