DTP
Localisation means adapting a product to meet the language, cultural and other requirements of a specific target market "locale".
Localisation includes the translation of the user interface, on-line help, software- specific user training and documentation, and includes ensuring that the images and concepts are culturally appropriate and sensitive. There may be subtle cross-cultural considerations, e.g. do the icons make sense in other parts of the world?
Often localisation is the key element ensuring the success of your product or service in a foreign market.
