These are the common abbreviations for globalization (g11n), internationalization (i18n) and localization (L10n). The numbers represent a count of the letters between the first and last letters in the term. “Internationalization,” for example, has eighteen letters between the “i” and “n.” While awkward, they certainly are faster to type.
