Subject:Localization and internationalization From:Carma C Allen <ccallen -at- BECKMAN -dot- COM> Date:Tue, 26 Jan 1999 14:07:48 -0800
When I read the original post calling localization and internationalization
the same thing, I started to reply, but my explanation got way too involved
so I cancelled it. So I was quite pleased to read the response from Betsy
Maaks. That was one of the best explanations of the differences between the
two terms that I have ever heard (or read). Good work, Betsy.
