Morphology

localized = localize (semi-transparent) = local + ize + ed

The derivation from 'local' is clear, but the specific computing/publishing sense 'to adapt for a locale' is a specialized extension that learners may not predict from 'local' alone.

Etymology

Localized comes from local, from the Latin locus meaning 'place', and it now means 'made to fit' a particular place or region, as when an app is changed for the language, date formats, and currency used in one country.
