== Purpose ==
KDE address a world wide audience and is therefore fully localized. Localization means to adopt language, text layout, numerals as well as cultural aspects and regulatory compliance.
 
== Examples ==
 
== Guidelines ==
* Provide bidirectional mode dependent to language (left-to-right vs. right-to-left).
* Allow translation with multiple plural forms.
* Design GUI with enough room for long captions.
* Allow users to choose currency and metric system (kg vs. lb, miles vs. km)
* Take cultural comprehension of icons (Red Cross vs. Red Crescent) into account.
* Do not localize standard [[Projects/Usability/HIG/Keyboard_Shortcuts|short-cuts]].
== Implementation ==
