9. A computer-implemented method of localizing data, comprising: receiving a request indicative of information to be localized, wherein receiving a request comprises receiving an application localization request from an application at runtime of the application; accessing a plurality of localization components that provide localized data, based on the request; selecting localized data from one or more of the plurality of localization components based on predetermined criteria; wherein the localization components provide confidence scores associated with localized data given the input data, and wherein selecting comprises selecting the localized data based on the confidence scores, the selection involving an evaluation of a relative magnitude of a confidence score associated with a first item of localized data as compared to a confidence score associated with a second item of localized data; and wherein selecting the localized data further comprises utilizing a computer processor that is a functional component of the computer to evaluate a time variable indicative of how long it would take to retrieve a particular item of localized data, and then not selecting the particular item as the localized data because the time variable exceeds a quickness threshold with which the time variable is compared.

The method of claim 9 wherein accessing the localization components comprises: identifying that each of the localization components is a trusted localization component as determined based on reference to a hierarchically organized trust indication scheme.
