What is the relation between translation and localization?
Translation vs localization: what’s the difference? Translation is the process of changing your text into another language, but localization is far more wide-reaching. It considers the cultural, visual and technological aspects of changing a site for users in different languages.
What is localization in translation studies?
The Routledge Handbook of Translation Studies Localization can be defined linguistically (Chan 2004: 134) as translating a product to suit the target users, technically as adjusting technical specifications to suit the local market, and culturally as following the norms and conventions of the target community.
What does localization mean in translation?
At its core, translation transforms text, while localization transforms the entire product or content from one language to another. Localization covers both linguistic and cultural adaptation. It also involves where cultural adaptation tackles technical obstacles, such as the ability to display target language scripts.

Is the translation a part of the localization process?
Translation is indeed part of localization, but so much more is required for content to become authentic and locally accepted. When localizing your content, you should pay even more attention to the cultural nuances and other specifics of the market you’re targeting.
Where are the localization files stored in typescript?
The localization files used by the web part are stored in the ./src/webparts/greeting/loc folder. The loc folder contains a TypeScript type definition file ( ./src/webpart/greeting/loc/mystrings.d.ts) that informs TypeScript of the different strings included in the localized files.
Confirm that the translated string is correctly displayed by running the following command: Using localization when building web parts offers clear benefits but is also something that developers overlook easily.
