1. What is film localization?
It is very important to note that film localization is a fancier way of saying film translation. Localization as a normal word is making something local. If something is international and you localize it, then you have made it local to make it more applicable in a local set up or relatable to a local audience.
So film localization is making a foreign film more local linguistically and culturally to make it relatable to a local audience through translation. There is no other way to localize a film or anything without using translation.
