Morphology

nonlocalized = localized (transparent) = non + local + ize + ed

Formed by adding the negative prefix 'non-' to 'localized', yielding the straightforward meaning 'not localized' in the context of adaptation or translation.

Etymology

The word nonlocalized comes from non- meaning 'not' and local meaning 'place' or 'nearby'. So a nonlocalized product or app is simply 'not made local', for example software left only in English instead of being translated or changed for another country.
