<h3>Language enablement</h3>
<p>The WG will work with, coordinate, and publish documents for various task forces within the Internationalization Interest Group, which produce document layout and related requirements for the Web Platform and Electronic Book technologies. The aim is to produce documents similar to the <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/jlreq/">Japanese Layout Requirements</a> and gap-analysis documents for a range of scripts and languages, and other sources of information for implementers and content developers. See a list of <a href="https://www.w3.org/International/i18n-drafts/nav/languagedev#reviews">currently available information</a>.</p>

<p>Currently this work is managed through 13 repositories, typically each focused on a group of languages, where experts can discuss issues and requirements for support of their language or writing system on the Web. These repositories currently contain 28 gap-analysis documents (some of which cover multiple languages), from which 100 gaps have been identified for the pipeline dashboard which will help us determine and prioritise what needs attention. During the upcoming charter, the Working Group will guide this work forward, creating new repositories and gap analysis documents as needed to accomodate additional languages as issues arise and experts are available.</p>

Over the past 2 years, the group has published 5 new articles, rewritten or significantly updated 6 more, and created and/or published 8 Working Drafts/WG Notes containing detailed technical advice.

These educational materials benefit both specification developers and content authors, and the choice of topics is driven by the needs that arise during developer support or by significant developments related to international use of the Web.
