# Angular Globalization Overview

Globalization is a process which combines the translation of component messages (localization) with their adaptation to specific cultures (internationalization).

In Kendo UI for Angular, globalization is enabled through:

* The [Internationalization package](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui-develop/components/globalization/internationalization)—Provides services and pipes for parsing and formatting of dates and numbers.
* The [Localization package](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui-develop/components/globalization/localization)—Provides the infrastructure for translating the messages of the components and applying right-to-left (RTL) support.

For the full list of components which support internationalization and localization, refer to the article on [globalization support by Kendo UI for Angular](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui-develop/components/globalization/globalization-support).
