Globalization / Localization

Globalization is the process of designing and developing an application in such a way that it functions appropriately in different global markets (on systems with different language and culture configurations) without requiring culture-specific changes or customization. The application must function equally well in the context of any language, region, or culture. These configurations include information about the following.

– Character classification
– Writing system
– Date and time formatting
– Numeric, currency, weight, and measure conventions
– Sorting rules

Localization is the process of adapting or translating the applications localizable resources to meet the language, cultural, and political requirements of the specific local markets that the app is intended to support.
A correctly Globalized application will not require code changes during localization. Generally the following tasks need to be accomplished for successful localization.
– Translate the string resources and other assets of the app for the new market.
– Modify any culture-dependent images as necessary.
– Ensure correct map boundary appropriate to the locale
