Talk:Language localisation

message: Is there a list around of all the language locales and their proper formatting? For example: 
Code 	Language	Locale
en_US	English 	United States
es_US	Spanish 	United States

thread_title: Locale list?

message: I wonder why software always splits American English and British English yet Spanish is shown as just a single locale. There are more differences between "es-la" (not a real locale afaik) and es-es than between en-us and en-uk. (if I see another program translating the "File" menu as "Fichero", I'll track the translator down and rip his balls off) 200.127.223.79 (talk) 21:00, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  English vs Spanish 

message: Under the language tag and code examples, why is it:
    * English: en-GB (British English)
rather than
    * English: en-UK (British English)
as used in many Microsoft (and other) applications?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by SeeMary (talk • contribs) 10:21, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  GB vs UK? 

message: Mexico and Argentina are not neighbors.  In fact, they are about as far apart as can get in the western hemisphere.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.144.236.39 (talk) 00:46, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  AR v MX 

message: As I observed that this article was quite uncomplete and its explanations were not at all clarifying, I decided to edit it and to relevant information regarding the subject. I also think the parts regarding difference between languages should be eliminated from this article, though it might be useful for articles regarding language, spelling, spanish, english, etc.
Hope the result is good.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by IaT vicky (talk • contribs) 14:14, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  More than translation 

message: I completed a major copy-edit of the article. I brought the text into compliance with WP:MOS, made the links into footnotes as appropriate, and reformatted the list at the end into a table for ease of reference.  I also made the spellings of "localization" and "globalization" consistently en-US throughout per WP:ENGVAR "Consistency within articles" and "Retaining the existing variety."  Before anyone asks, yes, I counted before I started: 
localization 	34
localisation 	7
globalization	10
globalisation	1
Therefore, since en-US was the predominant spelling in the article, I made it consistently en-US.  This is also consistent with the standards bodies linked from the article. I recommend that the article's title be changed to reflect en-US spelling as well. // ⌘macwhiz (talk) 04:02, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I realize this is a bit late, and I understand why you did this in line with the policies - but perhaps it should be changed to the international spellings, if only because the article title is international? Navarr (talk) 22:37, 21 May 2016 (UTC)
replies: text:  I have changed the spelling back to -ise, since the article was started using that spelling. According to WP:MOS, it should not have been changed. Acopyeditor (talk) 20:40, 23 August 2017 (UTC)

: I think this article tries to describe a specific phase of localization only. Whether it succeeds at that, I can't tell. For one, the title is wrong, because as the lead says it's not just the language requiring adaptations; perhaps a better title would be Locale localisation or something. ;-) --Nemo 14:19, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  This article appears in two places in two different forms on the English Wikipedia 

message: The first sentence of this article currently says "different languages". That is poor English grammar. Alternatives are "other languages", "various languages" and "multiple languages". I will change "different languages" to "multiple languages" but perhaps someone will decide on something better. Sam Tomato (talk) 19:50, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Different languages 

message: Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to  on Language localisation. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add  after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add  to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
*Attempted to fix sourcing for http://www.lisa.org/What-Is-Globalization.48.0.html
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at ).
Cheers.—cyberbot IITalk to my owner:Online 09:43, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  External links modified 

message: At some point a change was made to misspell localization and globalization. No discussion or democratic process was used to institute this change, although someone added a tag at the top to justify the action and threaten anyone who corrected the error.
The irony of this "fight" on this particular page isn't lost on readers. A fine example of why the "free" internet (as in life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness---not beer) isn't free at all.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.51.237.41 (talk) 15:33, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Misspelling 

message: Is there a reason why this page uses the spelling localisation whereas other pages such as game localization use the spelling "localization"?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 113.43.125.195 (talk) 02:39, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
