Typesetting the translations

Registered by Kevin Godby on 2010-02-18

Each translation may have its own typesetting needs: a font that supports the language/orthography, localization (such as dates, number systems, etc.), punctuation details (e.g., French spacing, dashes, and quotation marks), bidirectional text (for right-to-left languages), and so on.
