+3  Q: 

Is it important to i18n your img alt attributes?

For those of you who i18n, do you i18n the alt attribute on your img tags? Is it really worth it?

+5  A: 

Well, I guess if you wanted your site to be truly i18n'd, then yes.

It might be an extra headache, but some vision impaired people out there are thanking you :)

Also, are you using i18n JavaScript strings too?
