Why Did We Build Our Own Cross-Platform I18n SDKs for TikTok?
Zhongjun Ge, Phil Song, Frank Yao
Instead of using out-of-the-box CLDR solutions, we’ve been building our own i18n SDKs, based on CLDR core data, for TikTok over the years, and we’d love to share with the community about why we do this. Our main goals are as below:
- cross-platform consistency in a hybrid mobile app.
- meet internal technical requirements to package sizes.
- custom format and design style support.
- fix some format errors in CLDR with our own linguistic resources.
