Globalization

Globalization is the process of developing, manufacturing
and marketing software products that are intended for
worldwide distribution. An important feature of these
products is that, they support multiple languages and locale.

In a globalize product, code is separated from the messages
or text that it uses. This enables software to be used with
different languages without having to rebuilding the
complete software.

Globalization is achieved through the Internationalization
and localization.

It is important to understand locale as supporting different
locale is more than supporting different language. In
addition to languages and geographical location, locale
incorporate cultural information such as time, date, font,
currency convention etc. Differences in spelling, currency
and other conventions make testing with different locales
necessary.
