:merge Internationalization and localization Software localization is a process of translationtranslating software user interfaces from one language to another and adapting it to suit a foreign culture. This process is labor-intensive and often requires significant efforts from development teams. There are tools that can simplify the localization process. A lot of these projects get outsourced to specialized companies to cut costs.Software localization can also refer to adapting software from one culture to another. For instance, the Nintendo GameCube game ''Animal Crossing'' changed various !Animal_Crossing#Town_events_an d_holidaysholidays during its localization. During localization, some references to history or culture are replaced with an equivalent native reference which ideally does not change the meaning of the statement.
