Localization vs. Internationalization

* Internationalization is the process of designing software so that it can be adapted (localized) to various languages and regions easily, cost-effectively, and, in particular, without engineering changes to the software.
* Localization of internationalized software is done by simply adding locale-specific components, such as translated messages, data describing locale-specific behavior, fonts, and input methods, etc.
