To translate Python apps you need to consider both internationalization and localization. These terms are often misused, therefore, let's immediately agree that internationalization (i18n) will refer to the process of preparing programs for translation carried out by developers. Whereas, localization (l10n) is performed mainly by localization managers and translation teams, and is the process of translating and creating content for local audiences.
