TIL that in #JavaScript

you can say
new Date("January, 2 2026")

But you can't say

new Date("2 eneros 2026")

and there doesn't seem to be a way to make it parse anything other than English.

Because why would we need to care about anyone else's languages?! pfft.

🤦‍♀️😡🖕

Anglocentric fucking coders.

JavaScript's been around for how many DECADES now and no-one's bothered to teach the date parser ANY other language?!

Hype for the Future 49T: What about Romanian?

The Romanian language requires the comma accents below the letters S and T as accented letters that change the pronunciation of certain words in the Romanian language. Even though specifically the comma letters are in Latin Extended-B, many of the other Romanian accents exist in Latin Extended-A or perhaps even in Latin-1 Supplement. Therefore, the Latin Extended-B characters are specifically designated as Romanian additions. Otherwise, most of the letters in Latin Extended-B and later down […]

Hype for the Future 49S: The Hungarian Language as Represented in Unicode

The Hungarian language is written in the Latin script and contains such accented letters as ó, ö, ő, ú, ü, and ű. Specifically Ő and Ű require access to the Latin Extended-A code block on Unicode, but none of the aforementioned Unicode characters can reasonably be written in just ASCII.

Hype for the Future 49R: Latin Extended-A

Spanning U+0100 and U+017F of the Unicode Code Charts, Latin Extended-A predominantly services localization and internationalization for Eastern European languages in the Latin script, including Polish, Latvian, Lithuanian, Turkish, Czech, and Slovak, though not every accented letter may necessarily be represented in the code block for any of the aforementioned languages.

Hype for the Future 49Q: Unicode

Thanks to Unicode, the concepts of both localization and internationalization have become significantly easier across the globe, especially for non-English languages. While C0 controls and Basic Latin, spanning U+0000…U+007F, serve the needs of the Anglosphere, Latin-1 Supplement services chiefly Western European languages and covers U+0080…U+00FF of the code chart. Such languages include Portuguese, Spanish, French, German, and Italian, though Scandinavian languages are also identified […]

Hype for the Future 49P: Internationalization and Localization

In the tech industry, l10n and i18n, referring, of course, to localization and internationalization, respectively, are of the utmost importance to identifying how to accommodate users from different countries and regions alike in an effort to promote increased diversity in modern technological cases of innovation. Unfortunately, however, innovation can never be fully accomplished without a form of cultural erasure, and the complications of Eurocentrism are often perpetuated by the […]
