Localization or localisation, and represented as a numeronym as L10n, may refer to:

• Language localization, the process of translating a product into different languages or adapting a product for a specific country or region
  • Internationalization and localization, the adaptation of computer software for non-native environments, especially other nations and cultures
    • Game localization, refers to the preparation of video games for other locales
  • Dub localization, the adaptation of a movie or television series for another audience

Physics

Special topics are described as follows:

• GSM localization, a technique for determining the location of a user of a cell phone or wireless transceiver
• Robot localization, figuring out robot's position in an environment
• Sound localization, a listener's ability to identify the location or origin of a detected sound or the methods in acoustical engineering to simulate the placement of an auditory cue in a virtual 3D space
• Anderson localization of orbitals in solids due to static disorder
• Weak localization a physical effect, which occurs in disordered electronic systems at very low temperatures

Mathematics

• Category:Localization (mathematics)
• Localization of a category, adding to a category inverse morphisms for some collection of morphisms, constraining them to become isomorphisms
• Localization of a module, a construction to introduce denominators in a module M for a ring R
• Localization of a ring, in abstract algebra, a systematic method of adding multiplicative inverses to a ring
• Localization of a topological space, the localization of topological spaces at primes

Biology

• Subcellular localization, the organization of cellular components into different regions of the cell.
• Nuclear localization signal, an amino acid sequence exposed on the surface of a protein which acts like a 'tag' to localize the protein in the cell.
• Localization, the psychological notion that different functions are located in different areas of the brain.

Other

• Localisation (economics). The process of economic localisation is the opposite to economic globalisation.
