'''Localization''' or '''localisation''' may refer to:
{{TOC right}} ==Biology== * Localization of function, locating psychological functions in the brain or nervous system; see Linguistic intelligence * Localization of sensation, ability to tell what part of the body is affected by touch or other sensation; see Allochiria * Neurologic localization, in neurology, the process of deducing the location of injury based on symptoms and neurological examination * Nuclear localization signal, an amino acid sequence on the surface of a protein which acts like a 'tag' to localize the protein in the cell * Sound localization, a listener's ability to identify the location or origin of a detected sound * Subcellular localization, organization of cellular components into different regions of a cell
==Engineering and technology== * GSM localization, determining the location of an active cell phone or wireless transceiver * Robot localization, figuring out robot's position in an environment * Indoor positioning system, a network of devices used to locate objects or people inside a building * Navigation, determining one's position accurately on the surface of Earth * Radiolocation, finding the location of something via radio waves * Satellite navigation, a positioning and navigation technique aided by satellites
==Adaptation to language, etc.== * Language localisation, the process of adapting a product into different languages and adapting that translation to a country, region and/or jurisdiction * Internationalization and localization, the adaptation of computer software for non-native environments, especially other nations and cultures * Video game localization, preparation of video games for other locales * Dub localization, the adaptation of a movie or television series for another audience ** Subtitle localization * Indigenization, the process of adopting and integrating elements of a local culture, including language, customs, and names, often to better align with the local community
==Mathematics== * Localization of a category, adding to a category inverse morphisms for some collection of morphisms, constraining them to become isomorphisms * Localization of a ring and a module, in abstract algebra, a formal way to introduce the "denominators" to a given ring or a module * Localization of a topological space, the localization of topological spaces at primes * Localization theorem, theorem to infer the nullity of a function given only information about its continuity and the value of its integral
==Physics== * Anderson localization, in condensed matter physics, the absence of diffusion of waves in a disordered medium * Weak localization, a physical effect which occurs in disordered electronic systems at very low temperatures * Supersymmetric localization, a method to compute exact correlation functions of certain supersymmetric operators in supersymmetric quantum field theories
==Other uses== * Localization Era (1900-1300 BCE), the fourth and final period of the Indus Valley Tradition * The opposite of economic globalisation * Internationalization and localization, the adaptation of products for international use by conforming them to the conventions of each target locale, including language and culture.
