Sorry for the late response to your reply. For some reason, I did not get your response to my email. I only saw your answer because I went to the online archive.
Here is a follow up for the googlers. I have read the Django documentation, e.g.: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/i18n/, which in my opinion says just about the same as Wikipedia, regarding the meaning of those two words. The Internationalization article (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/ dev/topics/i18n/internationalization/), explains about internationalization in Django, but does not explain what it means to disable/enable it. I guess that disabling internationalization means disabling translation. The Localization article (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/ i18n/internationalization/), explains about Localization in Django, and mentions in short about the USE_L10N parameter. Apparently it decides if localized formatting of e.g. dates should be used. For both the USE_L10N and USE_I18N their effect is not obvious from their naming. I suggest, that the description of these parameters in https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/settings/?from=olddocs are made more precise. >From what I understand, they should have had names like USE_TRANSLATION and USE_LOCALIZED_FORMATTING.
