Localization is an Enterprise system characteristic used to evaluate how applications behave, scale, interoperate, recover, and adapt over their lifecycle.

| Context & Usage |
Documentation localization can involve translation, terminology, screenshots, units, examples, regulatory wording, and publishing formats. It is more than word substitution because the localized deliverable must fit the target audience and context.
Architects and procurement teams use this concept when evaluating fit, risk, lifecycle cost, nonfunctional requirements and operational behavior.
Related concepts include Enterprise Architecture, Application Portfolio, Business Capability and Data Governance.
