As far as most of the IT industry is concerned, the term “localization” means translation plus “some other things”. In fact, translation is no more than one part of the entire localization jigsaw puzzle, sometimes not even the most important one.

This document describes the localization process, as well as all the technologies, problems and  methodological issues involved with localization. It should be used as a reference guide to the  various processes, functions and areas of localization for anyone seeking to expand their knowledge  over the subject. It is more of a factual document than that of opinion, and should be used as a study on the topic of localization.
