Localization/Translation to Non-English Languages
The term localization refers to translating text into another language, with possible variations for a particular country or region. A locale is defined as xx_YY, where xx is the ISO 639-1 language code and YY is the ISO 3166 country or region code. The default locale is en_US, which is English in the United States.
In the Public Kiosk, translations are created and edited in several different ways depending on which part of the kiosk is being localized.
