Etymology
'localization' originates from the Latin word 'localis,' meaning 'pertaining to a place.'
'localis' transformed into the French word 'localiser,' and eventually became the modern English word 'localize' and its noun form 'localization.'
Initially, it meant 'pertaining to a place,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of adapting something to a specific locale.
