A Brief History of Localization and What the Future Holds Explore the history of localization, from its early days in the 1980s to modern practices and future trends. Discover the evolution of this exciting industry.

Super Mario Bros. 2 wasn't actually Super Mario Bros. 2 in Japan. They rebranded a different game entirely for Western audiences.

The history of localization started with companies just... making stuff up.

Wild how far we've come: modilingua.com/l10n-and-t9n...

1983: Microsoft spent months hardcoding Kanji support into MS-DOS for Japan.

Apple ships identical iPhones worldwide.

KFC's menu in China is unrecognizable to Americans.

Both strategies print money.

The secret is knowing which parts of your business to standardize vs. which to localize.

You can't just translate a product that was hardcoded in English with US date formats and expect it to work globally.

Step 1 happens before you translate a single word.

Chrome's built-in translator is free and instant, but so many users don't make the most of it.

Set specific languages to "always translate" or "never translate" and it learns your preferences.

Saves you from clicking the same prompt 50 times a week.
