Answer

  • D Translation transfers texts into another language, localization additionally adapts content to region and culture

Explanation

A translation transfers existing content word for word into another language. Localization goes further: date formats, currencies, images, examples or even entire content are adapted to the target group. A localized page can therefore have different content than the original.
