Localization (L10N) is the process of customizing a software application that was originally designed for a domestic market so that it can be released in foreign markets.
This process involves translating all native language strings to the target language and customizing the GUI so that it is appropriate for the target market. Depending on the size and complexity of the software, localization can range from a simple process involving a small team of translators, linguists, desktop publishers and engineers to a complex process requiring a Localization Project Manager directing a team of a hundred specialists.
Localization is usually done using some combination of in-house resources, independent contractors and full-scope services of a localization company.
