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.
