------- Additional Comments From christian.lieske@sap.com  2006-02-16 09:58 -------
I suggest a rewording along the following lines:

===
Content or software that is authored in one language (so-called source
language) is often made available in additional languages or adapted
with regard to other cultural aspects. This is done through a process
called localization, where the original material is translated and
adapted to the target audience.
High-quality, cost efficient localization requires up-front work. This
work encompasses appropriate design and development, and the
corresponding process is referred to as internationalization. For a
detailed explanation of the terms "localization" and
"internationalization", see [l10n i18n].
===

FS> not implemented. Again I would be fine with this, but my impression
is that many people have a different opinion on what i18n and l10n is.
If you want to make this change, put it into bugzilla and let's discuss it.
