Localization
Encyclopedia
Localization or localisation, and represented as a numeronym
as L10n, may refer to:
Special topics are described as follows:
Numeronym
A numeronym is a number-based word.Most commonly, a numeronym is a word where a number is used to form an abbreviation . Pronouncing the letters and numbers may sound similar to the full word: "K9" for "canine"...
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 localizationInternationalization and localizationIn computing, internationalization and localization are means of adapting computer software to different languages, regional differences and technical requirements of a target market...
, 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 localizationDub localizationDub localization, also often simply referred to as localization, which is a form of a voice-over. It is the practice of voice-over translation altering a foreign language film, art film or television series by voice actors to further adapt the material for a "local" audience.Dub localization is a...
, the adaptation of a movie or television series for another audience
- Internationalization and localization
Physics
- Locating, for the general process of determining a location, refer to this term
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 localizationSound localizationSound localization refers to a listener's ability to identify the location or origin of a detected sound in direction and distance. It may also refer to the methods in acoustical engineering to simulate the placement of an auditory cue in a virtual 3D space .The sound localization mechanisms of the...
, 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 localizationAnderson localizationIn condensed matter physics, Anderson localization, also known as strong localization, is the absence of diffusion of waves in a disordered medium. This phenomenon is named after the American physicist P. W...

Mathematics
:Category:Localization (mathematics)- Localization of a categoryLocalization of a categoryIn mathematics, localization of a category consists of adding to a category inverse morphisms for some collection of morphisms, constraining them to become isomorphisms. This is formally similar to the process of localization of a ring; it in general makes objects isomorphic that were not so before...
, 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 ringLocalization of a ringIn abstract algebra, localization is a systematic method of adding multiplicative inverses to a ring. Given a ring R and a subset S, one wants to construct some ring R* and ring homomorphism from R to R*, such that the image of S consists of units in R*...
, in abstract algebra, a systematic method of adding multiplicative inverses to a ring - Localization of a topological spaceLocalization of a topological spaceIn mathematics, well behaved topological spaces can be localized at primes, in a similar way to the localization of a ring at a prime. This construction was described by Dennis Sullivan in 1970 lecture notes that were finally published in ....
, the localization of topological spaces at primes
Biology
- Subcellular localizationSubcellular localizationThe cells of eukaryotic organisms are elaborately subdivided into functionally distinct membrane bound compartments. Some major constituents of eukaryotic cells are: extracellular space, cytoplasm, nucleus, mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, endoplasmic reticulum , peroxisome, vacuoles, cytoskeleton,...
, the organization of cellular components into different regions of the cell. - Nuclear localization signalNuclear localization signalA nuclear localization signal or sequence is an amino acid sequence which 'tags' a protein for import into the cell nucleus by nuclear transport. Typically, this signal consists of one or more short sequences of positively charged lysines or arginines exposed on the protein surface. Different...
, 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.
