programming (l10n) Adapting a product to meet the language,
cultural and other requirements of a specific target market
and concepts are culturally appropriate and sensitive. There
may be subtle cross-cultural considerations, e.g. do the icons
make sense in other parts of the world?
application development that makes localisation easier by
separating the details that differ between locales from the
rest of the program that stays the same. If
internationalisation is thorough, localisation will require no
programming.
The abbreviation l10n means "L - 10 letters - N".
