Some Terminology:

• Internationalization (aka I18n)

• The process of creating a framework in the software project to support the configuration of user visible strings for one or more languages.

• Localization (aka L10n)

• The process of adding the “localized” strings in a specific language to the software project.

Scope:

As SDN starts being a popular concept, ONOS too. However, most of the SDN and ONOS documentation is basically written in English. What about making ONOS a bit more international by bringing more languages into play?
