| # Localization |
| |
| [Localization](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_localisation) (L10N for |
| short) is a process for adapting the software so that it is usable in a |
| particular region; or a number of regions. Fuchsia has a workflow that allows |
| program authors to equip their programs with language-specific resources |
| (a.k.a _localized assets_). |
| |
| At present, Fuchsia's localization support is limited, when compared to the |
| scope of all localization features out there. However, even in its limited |
| scope (though the scope will grow) enough small scale decisions have been made |
| that it is useful to document them in the form of a specification. |
| |
| This specification is by no means complete or final. We reserve the right to |
| modify it in the future, and though we will make a best effort to evolve it in |
| backward compatible ways, there may be cases in which breaking changes could be |
| introduced if the benefits outweigh the potential downsides. |
