Globalization - The word globalization is used to denote the general idea of making things work globally as well as different practical methods and aspects. Quite often, this means internationalization followed by localization. However, it can also mean things like supporting different repertoires of characters, for any use whatsoever. Globalization is an umbrella term that covers internationalization, localization, and other ways of making data presentation and processing truly global, so that different languages, notations, and conventions can be used.
