+Internationalization
+====================
+
+Internationalization (`"i18n"`) is a domain of computer science focused on making
+software accessible across languages, regions and cultures.
+A combination of those is called a `locale`.
+
+On the most abstract level, Gecko internationalization is a set of algorithms,
+data structures and APIs that aim to enable Gecko to work with all human scripts and
+languages, both as a UI toolkit and as a web engine.
+
+In order to achieve that, i18n has to hook into many components such as layout, gfx, dom,
+widget, build, front-end, JS engine and accessibility.
+It also has to be available across programming languages and frameworks used in the
+platform and front-end.
+
+Below is a list of articles that introduce the concepts necessary to understand and
+use Mozilla's I18n APIs.
