Description

The LTW podcast is on a mission to demystify the localization industry, starting with the definition of localization.

Whenever I tell people I study "localization," I'm hit with a "Wow that's cool! ...What is localization?"

After having to explain and re-explain localization to every person I talk to, I've honed in on a couple of definitions of it. Today, I want to share some definitions that have helped me understand localization and give a prime example of L10N.
