Scope:
To assemble Standard ECMA-402, the ECMAScript® Internationalization API Specification. This Standard defines the application programming interface for ECMAScript® objects that support programs that need to adapt to the linguistic and cultural conventions used by different human languages and countries.
Programme of work:
- To identify, develop, and recommend to TC39 additions and modifications to ECMA-402 that are consistent with the direction of ECMA-402 as described below:
a. To provide a common library that promotes best practices for internationalization.
b. To standardize internationalization behavior across all ECMAScript® surfaces.
c. To ensure that the ECMA-402 specification is correct and robust. - To identify, develop, and recommend to TC39 additions and modifications to ECMA-262 that are necessary for promoting best practices for internationalization.
- To develop polyfills and test suites that may be used to verify correct implementation of ECMA-402.
- To liaise with TC39 on the status of the Task Group’s progress on ongoing proposals and on other recommended modifications to ECMA-402.
- To liaise with other standards bodies, including the Unicode Consortium, to ensure that ECMA-402 remains consistent with industry standards for i18n.
