Internationalization of Web Components

[mattyclarkson]

I watched your talk and have been playing around with the web components in polymer and I absolutely love it, thanks for all of your great work.

I have been thinking about how to make my web component internationalized. For example, I could check the lang attribute of the html element and provide the correct translated string(s) in my component. I could also add a mutation observer to the same element and attribute and update my component if the lang attribute is changed at runtime.

Do you guys have any views towards the internationalization of the web components? Are there any W3C specifications for standards based internationalization of web pages? Is there any blog post I can read around the issues?

Matt, this is a great question. You should ask it on
polymer-dev@googlegroups.com, where others will see it and you're far more
like to get a response.
