'''Localization''' or '''localisation''', represented as a [[numeronym]] as '''L10n''', may refer to:

* [[Localisation (economics)]]. The process of economic localisation is the opposite to economic globalisation.

* [[Language localisation]], 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

Special topics are described below.

* [[Navigation|Localization]], also called positioning or navigation, is a technique for determining one's position accurately on the surface of earth. Sometimes localization is considered as a part of the navigation problem that provides orientation and routing information in addition to just ___location.

* Localization of function, locating psychological functions in the brain or nervous system; see [[Linguistic intelligence]]

* [[Radiolocation|Radio Localization]] and [[Radio navigation|Radio Navigation]], passive and active localization techniques using radio waves.

* Localization of sensation, ability to tell what part of the body is affected by touch or other sensation; see [[Allochiria]]

* [[Satellite navigation|Satellite Localization]], a positioning and navigation technique aided by satellites, e.g. [[GPS]].

* Neurologic localization, in neurology, the process of deducing the ___location of injury based on symptoms and [[neurological examination]]

* [[Indoor positioning system|Indoor Localization]], a positioning technique for indoor environments.

* [[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

* [[Subcellular localization]], organization of cellular components into different regions of a cell

==Engineering and technology==

* [[GSM localization]], determining the ___location of an active cell phone or wireless transceiver

* [[Robot localization]], figuring out robot's position in an environment

* [[Indoor positioning system]], a network of devices used to locate objects or people inside a building

* [[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

* [[Navigation]], determining one's position accurately on the surface of Earth

* [[Radiolocation]], finding the ___location of something via radio waves

* [[Satellite navigation|Satellite Localization]], a positioning and navigation technique aided by satellites, e.g. [[GPS]].

==Adaptation to language, etc.==

==Physics==

* [[Language localization]], translating product related documents into different languages and adapting that translation to a country, region and/or jurisdiction

==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 ring and a module]], in abstract algebra, a constructionformal way to introduce the "denominators" into a modulegiven Mring foror a ring Rmodule

* [[Localization of a ring]], in abstract algebra, a systematic method of adding multiplicative inverses to a ring
