== Questions == * Above, you write that this page is about "localization"...but the title is "i18n" and the second link above (the laptop.org one) explains that i18n and l10n are two different things. What exactly is this about? :) Also, what do you mean by "code localization"? (I've never been involved in this sort of stuff, so I don't know many of the terms. --DanDrake |
Internationalization of Sage
Internationalization is the adaptation of products for potential use virtually everywhere, while localization is the addition of special features for use in a specific locale. For those new to the topic, "i18n" is a short-hand for "Internationalization" referring to the 18 letters between the I and and N. Similarly, "l10n" is shorthand for "localization". For more information, see the section "Useful Links".
