Localization is the process of adapting a globalized application to a
particular culture/locale. Localization testing checks how well the build has
been translated into a particular target language The following needs to be
considered in localization testing:

Things that are often altered during localization, such as the User Interface
and content files.

• Operating System


• Keyboards


• Text Filters


• Hot keys


• Spelling Rules


• Sorting Rules


• Upper and Lower case conversions


• Printers


• Size of Papers


• Mouse


• Date formats


• Rulers and Measurements


• Memory Availability


• Voice User Interface language/accent


• Video Content

It's also a good idea to check that everything you are going to distribute in
a local market complies with the local laws and regulations.
