Abstract: A localization tool is arranged to automatically localize a raw package for a target language, country or geographic region. The raw package is an executable binary stored in a specific location identified in a file system. The raw package includes data that identifies localization information. The localization tool uses the localization information to create a list of files to be localized in the target language, identify any strings to replace within each file, locate the files to be localized in the file system where the raw package is stored, and create any other parameters and functions required to localize the raw package. The raw package is localized by applying the target language, country or geographic region specific information to the files to be localized. The localized package is then stored in a target directory within the file system.
