Part I.
Provide the difference between Localization, Contextualization and Indigenization:
Localization
Localization is the process of
adapting a product, such as
software, to meet the
language, culture, and/or
needs of a specific region or
market. For example, a
company may localize its
software so that it can be
used in different countries
with different languages, such
as Spanish, French, and
German.
Part II.
Provide examples of Localization and Indigenization based on the given competency:
Competency/ies
Naiisa-isa ang ikinabubuhay
ng mga tao sa pamayanan.
Naipapakita ang
pagpapahalaga sa mga
produkto ng sariling bayan o
lalawigan.
Contextualization
Contextualization is the
process of adapting a product
to fit the cultural context of a
particular region. For
example, a company may
contextualize its software by
adding local images, stories,
or references to make it more
relevant to the culture of the
target market.
Localization
Participating in local events
and activities such as
farmer’s markets, community
potlucks, and volunteer
activities.
Developing technical service
and repair packages specific
to each local market.
Offering customer support in
the local language.
Establishing local spare parts
inventory hubs to reduce
delivery times.
Indigenization
Indigenization is the process
of adapting a product in order
to make it more accessible to
local cultures and
communities. For example, a
company may indigenize its
software by adding local
languages, customs, and
values to make it more
appealing and accessible to
local communities.
Indigenization
Participating in traditional and
cultural activities such as
hunting, fishing, and
traditional ceremonies.
Hiring local technical
personnel with the necessary
skills to provide product
support.
Training local staff to help
maintain the product and
provide support.
Utilizing local materials to
manufacture parts and
components for the product.
