This talk merges experience from supporting international customer base, as well as working on multilingual projects – character set conversion issues, performance impact, limitations, security concerns and more.
Domas Mituzas is Wikipedia performance engineer/developer and database administrator, as well as full-time MySQL support engineer at Sun Microsystems. He is also member of Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees.
