Questions tagged [localization]

Localization is the process of adapting a product or service to a particular language, culture, and desired local "look-and-feel".

Localization is the process of adapting internationalized software for a specific region or language by adding locale-specific components, translating text as well as formatting output based on specific locale (e.g. number and date formats, currency sign, etc).

Localization can be referred to by the numeronym L10N or l10n (as in: "L", followed by ten more letters, and then "N")
