What is localization testing in software testing?

Localization Testing is the process of testing how accurate the localization process succeeded in adapting the product to a specific region, locale or culture.

When you are testing the localization of software, you might be focusing on:

• Ensuring the embedded media includes properly localized content
• Checking that all texts are translated and rendered properly
• Looking for Date Format inconsistencies
• Ensuring correct formatting for numbers & currency across the app
• etc.
