Localization is the global community’s most obvious secret. It, or its attempts, are all around us — in our user manuals, on our websites, in our software, on our menus. Nearly everyone you know has likely had a chance to laugh over a bad localization, even if these people were unaware that was what they were doing. To call it translation is short-selling it. Translation may be involved, but even a good translation may fail to appeal to you, the end user. This is because cultural norms and assumptions are present in most content people consume.
