Website localization deals mainly with the languages in which websites are published on the Internet. English is by far the language of globalization. In this paper, we seek to measure the influence of localization on linguistic diversity. For this purpose, we set out to verify whether websites localized for French-speaking users exhibit a tendency towards standardization, through the internationalization of their linguistic content, or if they tend towards the strengthening of local cultural differences. A study of five Mercedes-Benz websites (one French-Canadian and four Franco-Europeans) reveals a sharp contrast in the linguistic effect of localization.
