Internationalization involves using a key-value system to manage translations efficiently on a website, where keys reference specific language translations. A dictionary is utilized to convert keys into language-specific words. The process includes fallback mechanisms if a translation is missing, often defaulting to English. When handling translations in APIs, the back end can analyze the accept language header to determine and respond with the preferred language. This approach streamlines translation management without requiring additional effort on the front end.
