US/UK - English language.
Date and Time Format
The timing and date of application vary from one place to another place.
Example
India - DD/MM/YYYY
US - MM/DD/YYYY
The application should support both 24 Hrs and 12 Hrs.
Currency Format
The application should support all kinds of currency formats because every country has their own currency format

Every country has a different phone number and mobile number format and the ISD code also may vary from country to country.
Example :

India-222161
US- 12201-7050
Advantages of Globalization Testing
The objectives of globalization testing are as follows.
- To verify the different aspects of the application /system.
