localizer
Instrument approach signal
A localizer is a component of an instrument landing system that provides horizontal guidance to aircraft approaching a runway, helping pilots align with the centerline.
The term also applies in software contexts to a person or tool that adapts content for different languages and regions—making text, interfaces, and cultural references appropriate for local audiences.
The localizer signal guided the plane through the fog.
