"We help your product speak your client's language"

Internationalization - i18n as it is a commonly known describes how you can develop a product or application that will be easily adaptable to client's native language.

Current Situation
There are many competitors to any product that is available in the market. How do you ensure that your product has wider reach and greater acceptance? There are a lot of foreign competitors in your own space posing a great threat.

Large multinationals with presence over multi-locations look for product that has a common set of features and a user can view in language of his choice depending on where he/she is.

Product companies look for international market to sell their product. It becomes a really impossible task to sell such products in non-English speaking markets.

Given these potential problems, what will you do?
 -  Develop your product for each language (one in English, one is Japanese, one in French..)?
 -  Or, restrict yourself to the boundaries within your reach?

How do you overcome all these shortcomings?
It's simple. Globalization is the one word answer. Globalization consists of two phases

     (a)  Internationalization (i18n)
     (b)  Localization (L10n)

Globalization refers to the process of designing, developing and engineering products that can be launched worldwide. There are two general phases in the globalization process, internationalization and localization.

Internationalization , or I18N, is the process of designing and developing software so that it can be adapted to various locales and regions without further engineering changes.

Localization , or L10N, is the process of adapting software for a specific region or language by adding locale-specific components and translating text.
