      The relationship between translation and

       Translation is the linguistic aspect of localization.
       The goal of translation is to achieve meaning equivalence by
      ensuring idiomatic, vocabulary, and conceptual equivalence.
       Translation constitutes a subset of activities performed during the
      localization of a product.

       Access to localized versions:
      ➢ Link in form of a flag or language locale on the main webpage
