The following are how these terms and a related term, localizabliity, are defined on MSDN: 'Globalization' is the process of designing and developing a software product that functions in multiple cultures/locales. 'Localizability' is an intermediate process for verifying that a globalized application is ready for localization. 'Localization' is the process of adapting a globalized application, which you have already processed for localizability, to a particular culture/locale.

Globalization is design technique which is based on the idea that application might have to run under different cultures. You make decisions in code which act upon some known properties of cultures - for example, you may right-align controls if you find out that current culture is RightToLeft; otherwise leave controls left-aligned. Another examples are to take current culture settings to determine currency, numbers format, date/time format etc. rather than hard-coding them. Localization is the process of creating actual content which takes current culture into account. It means, for example, writing content with specific currency sign or formatting numbers with specific thousands delimiter. It may become more difficult to represent labels and parts of text. That is typically done by creating string resources that represent particular labels and scribblings on the interface (or Web page). Then, instead of filling controls texts with fixed labels, you rather pick the string from resources, but for the desired culture. For example, you store string "hello" in culture "en-US" and string "bonjour" in culture "fr-FR". Then, instead of setting label's text to "hello", you set it to: " runat="server"> You can also print out localized string directly by using the generated resources class: Resources.MyResources.Hello.
