Localization or
localisation may refer to:
- Language localization, the process of translating a product into different languages or adapting a language for a specific country or region
- Internationalization and localization
In computing, internationalization and localization are means of adapting computer software to different languages and regional differences. Internationalization is the process of designing a software application so that it can be adapted to various languages and regions without engineering changes...
, the adaptation of computer software for non-native environments, especially other nations and cultures
- Dub localization
Dub localization, also often simply referred to as localization, of which it is a form, is the practice of altering the dubbed translation of a foreign language film or television series to further adapt it for a "local" audience....
, the adaptation of a movie or television series for another audience

- Locating
Locating is a process used to determine the location of one position relative to other defined positions. Locating is applied for location metering of moving objects and is not to be confused with surveying, which is utilized in reference to stationary terrestrial objects.Classical passive 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 localization
Sound localization is a listener's ability to identify the location or origin of a detected sound in distance and direction or the methods in acoustical engineering to simulate the placement of an auditory cue in a virtual 3D space ....

- Anderson localization
In stochastic processes, Anderson localization, also known as strong localization, is the absence of diffusion of waves in a random medium. This phenomenon is named after the American physicist P. W...

- Weak localization
Weak localization is a physical effect, which occurs in disordered electronic systems at very low temperatures. The effect manifests itself as a positive correction to the resistivity of a metal or semiconductor....

- Localization of a category
In 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...

- Localization of a module
In mathematics, the localization of a module is a construction to introduce denominators in a module for a ring. More precisely, it is a systematic way to construct a new module S−1M out of a given module M containing fractions....
, a construction to introduce denominators in a module M for a ring R
- Localization of a ring
In 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*...

- Localization of a topological space
In 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 ....
