Localization ≠ Internationalization
Localization adaptation of a system for a specific region •
language related aspects – translations – different characters and scripts • cultural aspects – units, currencies – time and date formats – meaning of colors and symbols – suitability of images • legal requirements
Internationalization designing a system to be prepared to make localization
possible and easy.
