== Languages ==
English is the primary language of computers, but it's far from beeing the only one that matters. Operting Operating systems (Windows, OSX, Linux) and most software ships in many different languages and many non-english-speaking users never have the need to learn english to use a computer or the internet effectively.
To make use of different languages we separate the representation of the information (e.g. "Create" and "Créer") from the information itself (this is text that will be shown to the user and they will be able to click on it to create a page). Then a list of strings can be extracted from the software or website and translated into different languages without programming knowledge. Because the mapping of meaning to representation is static (only the language of the representation changes) the table can be easily dropped back into the software which is now available in an extra language.
## Simple headers in <h1>, <h2>, and <h3> tags. Don't specify any styles for the headers.
## Add some text in tags with CSS attributes that set the font, each of these separately:
### CSS font-family, with text explaining what this property can be used for. To make it more interesting - pick fonts only available on one platform and see what the fallback is.### CSS font-style, with text explaining what this property can be used for.### CSS font-size, with examples of using different unit types (see [http://kyleschaeffer.com/user-experience/css-font-size-em-vs-px-vs-pt-vs/ this for example]).
# Make sure the whole thing fits into one page (no scrolling), and make a screenshot of it.
# Open the exact same page on the other platform (preferably in a different browser), and make a screenshot of that.
# In the same HTML file: list the differences you see, and explain why the two don't look exactly the same. Depending on the fonts you chose and the units you used the differences may be very minor.
# The two screenshots, your css and html files must be submitted to MoodleBlackboard/Lab2.
