Internationalization

Globalization (g11n) is the strategic approach of expanding a business beyond national borders. Not only does it include internationalization, localization, and translation, it also affects every business aspect of product and service commercialization.

Internationalization (i18n) is the engineering effort to make a product — an app in our case — ready for localization, i.e. adaptation to different regions. It includes important simplifications in the source code needed to avoid individual changes when entering foreign markets.
