Globalization in ASP.NET MVC, JavaScript and jQuery

There's a couple of basic things to understand though, before you create a multilingual ASP.NET application. Let's agree on some basic definitions as these terms are often used interchangeably.

• Internationalization (i18n) - Making your application able to support a range of languages and locales
• Localization (L10n) - Making your application support a specific language/locale.
• Globalization - The combination of Internationalization and Localization
• Language - For example, Spanish generally. ISO code "es"
• Locale - Mexico. Note that Spanish in Spain is not the same as Spanish in Mexico, e.g. "es-ES" vs. "es-MX"
