=============

.. glossary::
    :sorted:

    Localization
        The process of creating content in a native language, including
        translation, but also customizations like Search.

    Localizability
        Enabling a piece of software to be localized. This is mostly
        externalizing English strings, and writing build support to
        pick up localized search engines etc.

    L10n
        *Numeronym* for Localization, *L*, 10 chars, *n*

    l10n-merge
        nick-name for the process of merging ``en-US`` and a particular
        localization into one joint artifact without any missing strings, and
        without technical errors, as far as possible.
