# Globalization

The globalization process combines the translation of component messages with adapting them to specific cultures.

For more information on how globalization practices are implemented in Kendo UI for Angular, refer to the [overview article](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui-develop/components/globalization). For more information on the globalization aspects which are available for each component, refer to the article on [globalization support](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui-develop/components/globalization/globalization-support).

## Internationalization

The internationalization (i18n) process applies specific culture formats to a web application.

## Messages

The Indicators do not provide built-in translated messages or the option to implement and localize custom ones.
