Internationalization is the process of engineering software
that can serve the needs of users with differing language, cultural or
geographic requirements and expectations [W3C a]. The aim is to permit
that Web services have robust support for global
use, including all of the world's languages and cultures [W3C b]. |
Internationalization is the process of designing a software application so that it can be adapted to various languages and regions without engineering changes.[Wikipedia] |
