Abstract

A localization platform is used to localize data to one or more distinct markets. A matching component receives data to be localized and accesses different localization components and returns localized data corresponding to the input data. A data gathering component receives localized content from an input source that is external to the localization platform along with metadata that identifies the particular input source that provided the localized content. The data gathering component then only allows the particular input source that provided the localized content to modify that localized content.
