Can the Product Support Another Market?

Check internationalization before translation becomes an expensive surprise.

Translating the strings does not make an application international.

Dates, numbers, addresses, names, sorting, layout, and persistence all carry assumptions. Some of those assumptions sit far below the visible text.

/carbon-intl assesses internationalization readiness against the locales and markets you intend to support. It is the engineering investigation beneath the localized experience.

Look for assumptions that cross layers

Suppose a price is formatted for one locale, parsed by a second convention, and saved using a third. The interface may look localized while the stored amount is wrong.

Or a form accepts Unicode names but an export strips them. Or the date component localizes its display while the validation message still assumes month-first input.

CARBON can inspect string externalization, locale handling, formatting, Unicode, right-to-left support, and the relevant test and delivery setup. Runtime evidence, where available, helps separate actual behavior from architectural readiness.

Name the intended locales

/carbon-intl assess readiness for German, Japanese, and Arabic; focus on dates, amounts, names, RTL, and export consistency

The report should show a requirements matrix, implementation gaps, observed results, and the work still needed. It should not declare every market supported because the framework includes a locale library.

Contextual translation meaning belongs in a localization review. Internationalization asks whether the product can carry that meaning and behavior correctly through its architecture.

Finding these assumptions before translation begins can save a lot of rework. A language file is the visible part of a much larger engineering decision.
