Localization
: The process of creating content in a native language, including
translation, but also customizations like Search.
Localizability
: Enabling a piece of software to be localized. This is mostly
externalizing English strings, and writing build support to
pick up localized search engines etc.
L10n
: *Numeronym* for Localization, *L*, 10 chars, *n*
l10n-merge
: nick-name for the process of merging `en-US` and a particular
localization into one joint artifact without any missing strings, and
without technical errors, as far as possible.
