Localization as the name suggests is testing the application / product for your locale which means in the language of your choice to see if the product can be used in any specific area not necessarily to be used in English.

Product which is Internationalized can be used for localization testing. This is done to see if all the date and time formats, special characters, hyperlinks can all be converted to local language and can be used by targeted users.

Hi,

Localization means modifying a globalized application to be run locally.
Localization is done based upon the local culture,language spoken, government rules & regulatory standards followed in that particular location.

So Localization testing checks how well a globalized application is localized/modified into a particular target language.

Thanks
