• General alignment on the value of this functionality

• Perception of additional loading time in new application (not measured / quantified yet but general visible agreement )

• Add to roadmap

App Level Error Handling

• Confirmed - Closed / Done

i18n Infrastructure + Next Steps

• Language support gaps / RTL support?

• edX / 2U not using this yet

• RG using this currently

• Gap: plural strings

  • Expected lift / effort for this? Currently not easy based on structure of proj file, but we can migrate to approach that makes this easier (sizing TBD)

  • Swift 6 migration will help to get project down in size through use of Swift folders / smaller package sizes for string resources

• Language Support List:

  • Open edX default list - AI tool used for this

• RTL Crash?
