+
+**Internationalization**, often shortened to "i18n", is the practice of designing a system in such a way that it can easily be adapted for different target audiences, that may vary in region, language, or culture.
+
+The complementary process of adapting a system for a specific target audience is called {{glossary("Localization")}}.
+
+Among other things, internationalization requires support for:
+
+- different writing systems
+- different units of measure (currency, °C/°F, km/miles, etc.)
+- different time and date formats
+- different keyboard layouts
+
+The work of the [Unicode Consortium](https://home.unicode.org/) is a fundamental part of internationalization. Unicode supports not only variations among the world's writing systems but also cultural variations such as currencies and time/date formats.
