Summary

The need for diacritical marks sparked a critical realization regarding the Eater project's inability to fully represent its original identity. This process required a fundamental restructuring of the codebase to accommodate audiences who understood the language deeply.

Initially, the team undertook a comprehensive research project focused on Vietnamese typography and its global influence. By thoroughly studying existing systems, they successfully expanded language support, offering a thoughtful solution that bridged the gap between technical complexity and real-world usage. The final project successfully included Vietnamese characters into lessons, which was a significant achievement as it proved the book was a valuable inspiration for a significant project.

This experience highlighted how challenging it is to find reliable references in English when creating modern design systems.
