i18n (from "internationalization", a 20-letter word) is the best practice that enables products or services to be readily adapted to any target culture.
Internationalization is the design and development of a product, application or document content that enables easy localization for target audiences that vary in culture, region, or language. (The W3C definition)
Among other things, i18n requires support for multiple
- character sets (usually via Unicode)
- units of measure (currency, °C/°F, km/miles, etc.)
- time and date formats
- keyboard layouts
- text directions
