Introduction
Internationalization is the ability to customize your application to different settings and cultures. It is sometimes abbreviated i18n -- because there are 18 letters between the i and the n, and i18n takes less space!
You will often encounter internationalization, localization, and locale used together.
Internationalization (i18n) is the software development and design processes that make it possible to adapt an application to different settings.
Localization (l10n) is the process of adapting the application to the different setting, e.g., translation.
A locale is a specific setting that the application will be adapted to, e.g., English (United States ).
Hello, world
This example shows a simple label with the text "Hello, world." This label has been localized into four different locales: English (United States), Spanish (Mexico), French (France), and Germany (German).
