In computing, internationalization and localization are means of adapting computer software to different languages, regional differences and technical requirements of a target market (locale).

Internationalization is the process of designing a software application so that it can potentially be adapted to various languages and regions without engineering changes.

Localization is the process of adapting internationalized software for a specific region or language by adding locale-specific components and translating text.

Localization (which is potentially performed multiple times, for different locales) uses the infrastructure or flexibility provided by internationalization (which is ideally performed only once, or as an integral part of ongoing development).

Analytics is the discovery, interpretation, and communication of meaningful patterns in data.

Especially valuable in areas rich with recorded information, analytics relies on the simultaneous application of statistics, computer programming and operations research to quantify performance.

Automation or automatic control, is the use of various control systems for operating equipment such as machinery, processes in factories, boilers and heat treating ovens, switching on telephone networks, steering and stabilization of ships, aircraft and other applications and vehicles with minimal or reduced human intervention.

Some processes have been completely automated.

In computer science, real-time computing (RTC), or reactive computing describes hardware and software systems subject to a "real-time constraint", for example from event to system response.

Real-time programs must guarantee response within specified time constraints, often referred to as "deadlines".

The correctness of these types of systems depends on their temporal aspects as well as their functional aspects.

Real-time responses are often understood to be in the order of milliseconds, and sometimes microseconds.

A system not specified as operating in real time cannot usually guarantee a response within any timeframe, although actual or expected response times may be given.

Content management (CM), is a set of processes and technologies that supports the collection, managing, and publishing of information in any form or medium.

When stored and accessed via computers, this information may be more specifically referred to as digital content, or simply as content.

Digital content may take the form of text (such as electronic documents), multimedia files (such as audio or video files), or any other file type that follows a content lifecycle requiring management.

The process is complex enough to manage that several large and small commercial software vendors such as Interwoven and Microsoft offer content management software to control and automate significant aspects of the content lifecycle.
