Buenos días a todos!!!
Tengo dos dudas:
1) ¿Cuál de las dos palabras arriba es correcta?
2) ¿De qué se trata realmente? Ya que creo tener una idea, pero no estoy segura, y me gustaría incursionar más en este tema.
Gracias desde ya por tomarse el tiempo en responder. Me alegro muchísimo de pertenecer a esta comunidad tan interesante, donde el saber, la diversión y la gentilidad se unen en una mezcla asombrosa.
Espero... See more Buenos días a todos!!!

2) What is it?
Put in simple terms, localization(sation)is the translation of software related material (Software refers to the full interface as seen on-screen by the user. It includes menu items, dialogue box items, tool tips, status bar messages, toolbar items, error messages and strings (any message)
Often, Localization(sation) includes the adaptation of contents to national standards and conventions.
Punctuation marks (e.g. spaces, quotations etc)
Measurements
Data and number formats, decimal separator; currencies, etc.
It\'s basically the translation and adaptation of software to the target language market.

Hola Claudia:
Estoy de acuerdo con Martina. \"zation\" es la forma American mientras \"-sation\" es la forma Británica de decir la palabra.
Hay un libro sobre localización que se titula : \"A Practical Guide to Localization (Language International World Directory)\" escrito por Bert Esselink (ver www.amazon.com).
Espero que te sirva de ayuda.

It is a general misconception that -z- or -s- is just the difference between British and American spelling. A very good book for answers to questions such as these is \"The Oxford Dictionary for Writers & Editors\" (ISBN 0-19-866239-4) and that tells us: localize not -ise.

According to the Oxford dictionary the most appropriate way is to spell these words is with a \'z\' because they come from Latin. However, most British people would spell these words with an \'s\' and believe this is the correct British way. The EU recommends using the \'s\' variant in their style guide for English (see web site: http://europa.eu.int/comm/translation/en/stygd/)
