loklisiert

Lokalisiert is the standard German past participle and adjective formed from the verb lokalisieren, meaning to determine or designate the location of something, or to adapt content to a locale. The term derives from the noun Lokal and the suffix -isieren, with the related noun Lokalisierung referring to the process or result of localization.

In medicine and the natural sciences, lokalisiert is used to indicate the precise location of a condition or finding, for example a tumor or a lesion being lokalisiert in a particular organ or region. In geography and related fields, it can describe the identification of a position or site, such as a plot, archaeological find, or sensor data point being lokalisiert.

In information technology and software development, the related concept localization is often expressed in German as Lokalisierung, and the verb forms lokalisieren or lokalisiert describe the adaptation of software, content, or documentation for a specific language or region. A lokalisiertes Programm is translated, culturally adapted, or otherwise prepared for a particular locale.

Notably, loklisiert with a K is not standard German and is generally considered a misspelling of lokalisiert. Correct usage preserves the spelling with L o k a l i s i e r t.
