Abstract
The present specification provides a system and method for localizing data. In one embodiment, a localization platform is provided and is operably coupled to an operating system. The localization platform includes a plurality of localization components providing localized data that is localized to one or more distinct markets. The localization platform also includes an ontology store storing ontology information and a translation matching component configured to receive a localization request corresponding to input data to be localized. The translation matching component is configured to access the plurality of localization components and the ontology store based on the localization request. The translation matching component selects and outputs localized data from one or more of the plurality of localization components based on predetermined criteria.
