Localization
Language localization is the process of translating a product into different languages or adapting a language for a specific country or region.

The KDE project, for example, has been translated into over 70 languages. Linux is generally available in many languages. The Debian distribution currently loads over 200 languages. Ubuntu's LiveCD allows you to conveniently pick to load any and all choices you want from dozens of languages when you boot up or when you choose System > Administration > Language Support. Ubuntu's 7.04 version covers languages from Afar to Zulu including dialect choices such as Ancient or Modern Greek or several varieties of English.
