internationalizing
Making globally accessible
Internationalizing is making something suitable for use across different countries, languages, or cultures.
Software developers internationalize applications by separating text from code so it can be translated: We're internationalizing the interface before launching in Europe.
More broadly, to internationalize is to bring something under international control or make it global in scope: internationalizing the conflict, internationalizing trade agreements.
