Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term used to describe translating or designing multimedia into a language other than the one in which it was originally written is called localization. This includes not only translating the text, but also adapting things like images, graphics, and audio to be culturally appropriate for the target audience. Mapping refers to the process of creating a map, orientation refers to getting familiar with a new environment, and truncation refers to shortening or cutting something off, none of which accurately describe the process of localizing multimedia.
