<p>The Internationalization Activity also published additional documents that provide in-depth coverage of a particular area. You can find a complete set of <a class="highlightLink" href="https://www.w3.org/standards/techs/i18n#">Technical reports</a> produced by the Activity, but the following list highlights some especially useful ones.</p>
<p><a class="highlightLink" href="https://www.w3.org/TR/string-meta/">Strings on the Web: Language and Direction Metadata</a>. Describes the best practices for identifying language and base direction for <em>strings</em> that will be used on the Web.</p>

Architectural specification providing specification / software developers and content developers with a common reference for interoperable text manipulation on the World Wide Web. Topics addressed include use of the terms 'character', 'encoding' and 'string', a reference processing model, choice and identification of character encodings, character escaping, and string indexing.</p>

<p>Developers who want to better understand language or writing system features, and what must be taken into account to develop internationalized solutions, can find relevant information using the <a class="highlightLink" href="https://www.w3.org/TR/typography/">Language Enablement Index</a>.</p>
<p>Other useful resources include the <a class="highlightLink" href="https://www.w3.org/International/i18n-activity/textlayout/">Layout issue tracker</a>, which lists ongoing questions and discussions related to language enablement. Also, the <a class="highlightLink" href="http://w3c.github.io/type-samples/">Type Samples</a> library provides pictures of typographic features in the wild.</p>
