About

HELIO was built from the ground up with Internationalization in mind. Internationalization, often abbreviated as i18n, is the process of designing and developing applications, products, or services that can be adapted to various languages and cultural norms without requiring changes to the source code.

The goal of internationalization is to create products that can be easily translated into different languages and adapted to different cultures.
