internationalization

(noun)

The act or process of making a product suitable for international markets.

Examples of internationalization in the following topics:

  • The Internationalization of the United States

    • The internationalization of the United States has become apparent through the processes of free trade, outsourcing, exporting of American culture, and immigration.
    • One of the ways in which internationalization has become apparent in the United States is through immigration and the resulting demographic changes occurring in the U.S. population.
    • Through the continued process of immigration, the United States is becoming an increasingly ethnically diverse (and, hence, internationalized) country.
    • A kosher McDonald's in Ashkelon, Israel, symbolizes the internationalization of American businesses around the world.
  • Translation Manager

    • Internationalization (I18N) and localization (L10N) both refer to the process of adapting a program to work in linguistic and cultural environments other than the one for which it was originally written.
    • The distinction between them is subtle but important: Internationalization is the adaptation of products for potential use virtually everywhere, while localization is the addition of special features for use in a specific locale.
    • For example, changing your software to losslessly handle Unicode (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode) text encodings is an internationalization move, since it's not about a particular language, but rather about accepting text from any of a number of languages.
    • Thus, the translation manager's task is principally about localization, not internationalization.
  • The Promotion of Global Human Rights

    • Subsection (a) of the International Financial Assistance Act of 1977: ensured assistance through international financial institutions would be limited to countries "other than those whose governments engage in a consistent pattern of gross violations of internationally recognized human rights.

    • Section 502B of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended in 1978: "No security assistance may be provided to any country the government of which engages in a consistent pattern of gross violations of internationally recognized human rights. "
  • Exports: The Economic Impacts of Selling Goods to Other Countries

    • Legal restrictions and trade barriers are in place internationally to control trade, whether goods are being exported or imported.
