Morphology
internationalization = internationalize (transparent) = inter + nation + al + ize + ation
The noun is derived from the verb 'internationalize' by adding '-ation', a common and transparent nominalization process.
Etymology
Internationalization breaks down into inter- 'between', nation 'country', and -ization 'the process of making', which gives a clear image of 'making something fit between countries'. So in general it means adapting or changing something so it can be used in different countries and cultures.
