12. A localization platform, comprising: a plurality of localization components providing data that is localized to one or more distinct markets; a matcher component receiving input data to be localized to a predetermined market, accessing the plurality of localization components, and returning localized data corresponding to the input data based on accessing the plurality of localization components; a data gathering component receiving localized content comprising the data that is localized to one or more markets from at least one input source, external to the localization platform, through a web page interface, and storing the received data as an additional localization component, accessible by the matcher component, in addition to the plurality of localization components, the localized content comprising resources localized by the at least one input source providing them and context information and metadata identifying each input source and associated localized content it provided, the data gathering component allowing an input source to modify only localization content that is provided through the data gathering component by that input source, based on the metadata associated with the localization content being modified; and a computer processor activated by the matcher component to facilitate returning of localized data.
