Q: What is I18n/L10n?
A: Internationalization (I18n) is the process of designing an application so that it can be adapted to various languages and regions without engineering changes. The abbreviation is based on the fact that the rather lengthy word 'internationalization' starts with an 'i' followed by 18 characters followed by an 'n';
Localization (L10n) is the process of adapting software for a specific region or language by adding locale-specific components and translating text. The abbreviation is based on the fact that the rather lengthy word 'localization' starts with a 'l' followed by 10 characters followed by an 'n'.
And the same interpretation goes with G11n (globalization) and T9n (translation).
Q: What does the abbreviation GILT refer to?
A: GILT is an alphabetic acronym for Globalization, Internationalization, Localization and Translation.
Q: What is the relationship among translation, localization, internationalization and globalization?
A: The relationship between translation and localization/internationalization/globalization can be described as follows,
GILT = G11n + I18n + L10n + T9n;
G11n = I18n + L10n;
L10n > T9n.
