GILT (Globalization, Internationalization, Localization, and Translation)

GILT stands for Globalization, Internationalization, Localization, and Translation—key steps in adapting products or content for different markets. Globalization is the overall process of designing products to work globally. Internationalization involves planning and technical preparation so that the product can easily adapt to various languages and regions. Localization customizes the product to fit a specific locale, including language, culture, and preferences. Translation is the actual conversion of text from one language to another. Together, these ensure that products are accessible, relevant, and effective for diverse audiences worldwide.
