What is software localization?
Although it may sound like the opposite of globalization and internationalization,
software localization is another key step in fully translating your software. In
computing, localization (l10n) is the process of narrowing a program down for a specific
culture and language.
Software localization can increase your markets and your revenues—but it must be done
right. All the moving parts of your software must be translated consistently using the
right terminology for your intended audience.
In the end, after your software product has been translated and tested, it should be
fully functional and ready to adapt to many languages.
