Globalization

Globalization is a process in which companies prepare for international influence or start operating in an international scale.

It involves designing and developing applications that function for multiple cultures. The process of globalization is a vital part of making the product ready for global use by concept and should be integrated when the business and product development strategies are being conceived.

In the case of mobile app developement, thinking about globalization from the very start will save you difficulties connected with rewriting the code and redesigning the UX, but that is not all. It is always a good idea to think about globalization before you even start with the development to find out whether your mobile app is viable for it or not.

Other concepts closely related to globalization are internationalization and expansion.
