One of the most-loved features of WordPress CMS is the support for a number of different languages.
By default, WordPress is presented in U.S. English, but it does come with a built-in language capability. This has allowed the WordPress community to translate WordPress into several languages. WordPress themes, plugins, translation files and support have also been made available in various languages.
It is worthy of note that Internationalization is often abbreviated as i18n (because there are 18 letters between the ‘i’ and the ‘n’) and Localization is abbreviated as l10n (because there are 10 letters between the ‘l’ and the ‘n’.)
