Скачать или смотреть Internationalization vs. localization (i18n vs l10n): What’s the difference?

Go here to follow along: https://bit.ly/follow-tutorial

Internationalization ("i18n" for short because there are 18 letters between “i” and “n” in the word) involves building your software so that it isn't hardwired to one language, locale or culture.

Localization ("i10n") is the process of adding the appropriate resources to your software so that a particular language or locale is supported. This would involve adding translations for example.

So to recap: internationalization prepares your software for localization.

If in the future, you want to sell a Polish version of your software, you would already have the infrastructure done, and would just localize it by adding Polish language resource files for example, like I am doing via the Lokalise app. I can even choose to make an API call to Lokalise and display the language needed!

More steps on how to do this in the link above and send it to someone in tech!
