How we work in Montreal
No visible text lives inside a template
Every sentence a user reads lives in a language file, never hard-coded into a view. It sounds like a developer detail, and it is what decides whether adding French takes an afternoon or takes a quarter. We do it from the first commit, including on projects that launch in a single language.
Adding the second language later costs more
Pulling the strings out of a finished product means opening every view, every email and every error message one by one. It is not a feature you bolt on: it is a full pass through the code, with the risk of breaking what already worked. So we do it first.
Dates and numbers are formatted, not translated
A date written by hand inside a template is a bug that only shows up when someone switches language. Day and month order, the decimal separator and where the currency symbol sits do not match between English and French. They are handled by the locale settings, never by hand.
One product, not two sites drifting apart
The quick way out is to build two sites, one per language, and six months later they have different features, different templates and the same bug fixed in only one of them. A single codebase with two text files costs a little more up front and much less every month after.
