'''Localization''' is the following:

'''Localization''' isor the'''localisation''' followingmay refer to:

*Generally, [[localization]] is the determination of the locality (position) of an object

*Often, [[localization]] is the adaption of an object to a locality.

*In [[economics]], [[Internationalization and localization|localization]] is a way to adapt products for non-native environments.

*In [[telecommunications]], [[GSM localization|localization]] is a technique for determining the ___location of a user of a GSM [[cell phone]].

*In [[mathematics]], [[localization of a ring|localization]] is a certain technique in [[abstract algebra]]; see also [[localization of a module]], [[localization of a category]].

*In [[acoustics]], sound localization describes how our ears find the direction of a [[sound|sound source]].
