Translation, Localization
Localization means taking an internationalized product and customizing it for a specific market. This includes translating the software strings, rearranging the UI components to preserve the original look and feel after translation, customizing the formats (such as date/time, paper size, etc.), the defaults, and even the logic depending on the targeted market.
