What are we talking about? What is GILT?

LISA (Localization Industry Standards Association) provides answers and definitions:

Globalization, internationalization, localization and translation (GILT) are prominent areas
in which knowledge management is gaining crucial exposure for international business excellence.

LOCALIZATION

Localization involves taking a product and making it linguistically and culturally appropriate to the target locale
(country/region and language) where it will be used and sold.

INTERNATIONALIZATION

Internationalization is the process of generalizing a product so that it can handle multiple languages and cultural
conventions without the need for redesign. Internationalization takes place at the level of program design
and document development.

GLOBALIZATION


Globalization addresses all of the enterprise issues associated with making a company [product/service]
truly global. The globalization of products and services involves integrating all of the internal and external
business functions with marketing, sales, and customer support in the world market.
