The act of making a product suitable for a culture foreign to its native region. For example, translating and recasting the voices of characters in an anime to English. This can also include some other modifications, such as changing a play on words or a common idiom native to the original region that wouldn't make sense in a foreign language, or even censorship of certain images and actions like removing a cigar from a character or replacing piles of bones with loaves of bread.
The Japanese and Korean localization of League of Legends excluded Graves' cigar because depictions of smoking would bump the rating of the game to 17+, making it inconsistent with the American version's rating.
The American English localization of the hit new game "Britain's Bikini Battlers" removed the "u" from color, flavor, behavior, harbor, honor, humor, labor, neighbor, rumor, splendor, favor, endeavor, clamor, glamor, valor, vapor... well, you get the picture. Also, they replaced the word "arse" with "ass" and got rid of the joke about Tories running through wheat fields.

People who live in your city that have no personality, bland, and like anything thatโs mainstream. They think theyโre quirky for whatever they do, but in reality are blended in with other locals. They judge anything that is underrated and are just basic in general. Theyโre the type to overuse emojis unironically, post fried memes/selfies of themselves, have cringey Instagram bios like โ12, bad bitch ๐๐, better than u ๐โ or whatever the hell. They have no sense of humor and donโt know what memes are.
Locals have no personality and think theyโre funny.

"Local" is typically a term used by stans on stan Twitter to describe people who aren't like them. Locals are the most basic, average mold of a human being, all clones of each other with no unique personality or qualities; they all listen to the most mainstream music and think it was written by God himself, think watching Netflix on a Friday night is a personality trait and quote Vines like they're bible verses.
You'll typically find locals at Starbucks taking pictures of their drinks, acting like fools in Target thinking it makes them quirky, or at a Drake concert because he, along with Migos and Cardi B, are the leaders of locals. Girls will be seen sporting a pound of makeup, a tight tank top with ripped jean shorts and Birkenstocks while the boys will be seen in a man bun, OBEY t-shirt and bermuda shorts.
"Why is this Drake song still being played on the radio? It came out like, 3 months ago!"
"Locals stream it at their beer pong parties, blame them"

A way to describe โbasicโ people from your area. Typically known to retweet generic/vague tweets from fake Drake and Post Malone twitter accounts because they think theyโre โdeepโ. Generally tend to only stay in the town theyโre from because they lack the potential or are afraid to branch out somewhere else.
โWhy does Nick always hangout at the mall?โ
โYeah, what a localโ

a person who lives in your area and is typically very uninformed and lacks a personality. these are the people who listen to post malone/russ, shop at PINK, and juul excessively; their sense of humor derives from the office and the memes on their instagram feeds from 5 months ago and they seem to have no outward-facing view of life. they only use their twitter to look at @dory, tweet happy birthday messages to some white girl in 2015, or tweet at their school district for snow days.
these locals are really testing they the type of bitches to close the refrigerator wit they hips while they listen to drake
