The Internationalization and International Text Input team’s mission is to make Apple’s products accessible to customers using many different languages. We work at the framework-level with projects like Foundation and ICU ( icu-project.org) to help developers on Apple’s platforms provide a fully internationalized user experience. These frameworks are used to internationalize all of Apple’s major platforms including iOS, OS X, watchOS and tvOS. The team also works on text input solutions for many different languages such as Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Hebrew, Thai, Vietnamese, Hindi, Tamil, and many more, on all of Apple’s software platforms.

Apple is known for its unique integration of hardware and software, and the Internationalization Team is a key part of that.
