A localizer is one component of a ILS or Instrument Landing System. The localizer usually provides runway centerline guidance to aircraft. In some cases a localizer is at a angle to the runway usually due to obstructions around the airport. A localizer is similar to a VOR but is twice as sensitive to angle deviation.
localizers also exist in stand alone instrument approach installations and are not always part of a ILS or Instrument Landing System
a localizer is also a fictional device in the works of Vernor Vinge.
Localization (本土化; POJ: pún-thó·-hòa; Pinyin: Běntǔ huà) is a political term used by advocates of Taiwan independence to support their view of Taiwan as not part of China.
Localization rejects a Han Chinese identity in favor of a monolithic officially sponsored "Holo" identity, which its supporters equate with a "Taiwanese" identity.
The roots of the localization movement began during the Japanese era in Taiwan 1895 to 1945, when groups organized to lobby the imperial government for greater Taiwanese autonomy and home rule.
