Call for Participation Reminder! - 44th Internationalization & Unicode Conference, Santa Clara, CA - October 14-16, 2020
by Jim DeLaHunt March 9, 2021

March 9, 2021

Hello, UA Colleagues: I want to be sure this group sees the call for participation for the Internationalisation and Unicode Conference, which takes place this October 14-16, 2020, in Santa Clara, California, USA. Do you want to propose a talk? If so, the deadline is this Friday, March 6, in the UTC-8 timezone. Many of you know the Internationalisation and Unicode Conference. For those who don't, it is a gathering of those who define The Unicode Standard for text, as well as architects of fonts, text rendering, and beyond that into software engineering aspects of internationalisation and localisation. About 100% of the audience are solidly in favour of the values and goals of Universal Acceptance. However, much fewer than 100% know what the Universal Acceptance Group does, and what the current successes and obstacles are. I think Universal Acceptance should not be absent from this conference. If anyone has questions about this conference, I have been attending for many years, and I would be happy to answer them. Others on this list are probably even more expert than I am. Best regards, —Jim DeLaHunt, Vancouver, Canada -------- Forwarded Message -------- Date: Thu, 20 Feb 2020 16:29:05 -0500 Message-Id: <202002202129.01KLT5NP015843(a)aquamarine.omg.org> From: Unicode Conference <programs(a)unicodeconference.org> Subject: Call for Participation Reminder! - 44th Internationalization & Unicode Conference, Santa Clara, CA - October 14-16, 2020 IUC 44 Conference To see this message in your browser click *here <https://www.unicodeconference.org/e-marketing/IUC44-CfPReminder-02-20-20.htm>* Internationalization & Unicode Conference 44.

Ћирилизатор - browser extension
by Dušan Stojičević Jan. 28, 2021

Jan. 28, 2021

Dear all, I found interesting to share this idea with you and apologizing in front if you don’t share my view… Ћирилизатор, the extension for all significant browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Kiwi…) is doing one simple task> transliteration from Latin script to Cyrillic script on opened website pages - with one click. Although this extension for browsers is limited to Latin->Cyrillic only and it work just under one language (Serbian), the idea and approach is good, and can be inspiration for similar extension on other languages. Author is domestic programmer, Mr. Turanjanin, and more info can be found on https://www.turanjanin.net/cirilizator/ or https://github.com/turanjanin/cirilizator I am aware that this extension is not connected entirely to UASG and domain names, but it is a small and practical example of how to solve multilingual Internet and Universal Acceptance in wider sense.
