Internationalizing and localizing block based plugins
Internationalizing and localizing block based plugins is an important stage in the creation of WordPress blocks that can be used worldwide. Once it’s been internationalized a plugin can be delivered in any locale that WordPress supports; over 200 at the last count.
In this post I summarize the process I use to automatically perform internationalization ( i18n ), translation and localization ( l10n ) of my block based WordPress plugins from US English to UK English and the bbboing language.
Using easy to use translation tools, internationalized plugins can be made available in many other languages.

Localization of Full Site Editing themes
The WordPress Gutenberg project’s plan for internationalization (i18n) and localization (l10n) of Full Site Editing themes (FSE) has not yet been formulated. I’ve written a proposal, entitled Internationalization and localization: translating templates and template parts, raised as Feature request #27402.
I believe that very little needs to be done to Internationalize a file containing Gutenberg blocks and HTML, and that it can be translated and localized into a statically delivered file in the user’s required locale ( language and country ) using the process described in the feature request.
This post briefly discusses some of the challenges of translating rich text content.

A few months ago, having resolved to internationalize, localize and test my WordPress plugins, I started busily beavering away at a solution that will enable me to automatically deliver UK English versions of my plugins. Now that Global WordPress Translation Day #3 is fast approaching it seems timely to write up an outline of my approach. The solution involves a number of fairly well defined processes, and a lot of repetition.

H2GD Part 25.7: oik i18n the lazy way – bbboing’ed WP on steroids?
After a discussion with Paul Gibbs at #wcukretreat about Internationalization (i18n) and Localization (l10n) of my WordPress plugins – he was reviewing my code for the oik-css plugin – I decided to bite the bullet and see what I needed to do for the oik suite of plugins. Here are the results of the first part of my investigation.
