G11n = I18n + L10n

Quote:

I18n - Internationalization - Providing some kind of framework so that you can easily swap out strings, graphics, sounds and other resources and generally handling different conventions of communication.

L10n - Localization - The process of creating a bunch of strings, graphics, sounds etc. so that you can target a specific nationality, language or region.

G11n - Globalization - Doing both Internationalization and Localization steps.

Quote:

McDonald's is internationalized because it can be localized. You can't easily localize, say, an American flag shop unless you expanded your company to make all the countries' flags.

McDonald's is localized because when you go to the McDonald's in Japan, there is very different food there than there is in, say, the USA. It's also all written in Japanese. This means they have adjusted their product to the language and culture of Japan.
