What are the differences between translation, localization, and globalization?
You’ve probably seen these terms a lot. But what do they mean? If you are new to this industry, here’s the best way to remember the differences:
Translation
Localization
Globalization
Translation
Is the accurate and appropriate way to present your content in a different language.
Localization
Is the process of adapting that translation for a specific language and country (different variations of Spanish, French, or German, for example). Its considers local practices and culture and provides an output that is sensitive to the audience in the target country.
Globalization
Is the process of turning the points above into a multilingual, holistic marketing strategy that enables easy localization for audiences in specific target markets, based on culture, region, or language.
