Feedback on the datalist approach: [cite](https://open-ui.org/components/enhanced-range-input.explainer/#datalist-integration) As I stated on the CSS WG call, I'm not sure that the current datalist approach will scale for translations. If I am building a design system slider for a product that supports 7 languages, I'd likely have to manipulate the content of the datalist with JavaScript depending on the user's language which is not as performant or ideal. One option might be to add support for rendering the labels based the Intl.NumberFormat [style](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Intl/NumberFormat/NumberFormat#style) as attributes on the slider element. This would obviously not be sufficient to cover all use-cases but it adds coverage and automatic internationalization for a more significant portion of the use-cases. -- GitHub Notification of comment by castastrophe Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/12963#issuecomment-3806456506 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
