How do you say i18n?

• phantasmish 11mo ago
  In my head? Something like slurring the word “internationalization” combined with 18. “Ill-ateen-yon” (In general I hate these numeric abbreviations, they’re terribly opaque to anyone who’s not clued in)

    One of my favorite T shirts is a custom black one that says `f2k i18n` in a white typewriterish coding font. (Thanks Roman!) Most people are confused by it. When I start to explain it, I sound like a jerk who hates foreigners. The programmers on the street point and smile at it. If they work in `l14n`, they come up and give me a hug.

      l10n, surely?

        You are correct! I need a tshirt to keep it straight.
