Globlization and Localization


-Globalization and Localization are two important processes which every software developer should be aware of while creating global products or applications.

-These processes can be helpful for developing applications which can be used in different countries and different languages with minimum effort.

-Localization is the process of adapting a software application for a specific locale.  It is defined as the process of creating and configuring an application for supporting a specific language or locale.

-Globalization is defined as the process of identifying the specific portion of the application that needs to be different for different languages and how to isolate them from the application's core. 

-The Microsoft .NET library supports   Globalization and Localization using following namespaces:     
         System.Globalization
         System.Resources
         System.Text
