    <summary>The <see cref="N:System.Globalization" /> namespace contains classes that define culture-related information, including language, country/region, calendars in use, format patterns for dates, currency, and numbers, and sort order for strings. These classes are useful for writing globalized (internationalized) applications. Classes such as <see cref="T:System.Globalization.StringInfo" /> and <see cref="T:System.Globalization.TextInfo" /> provide advanced globalization functionalities, including surrogate support and text element processing.</summary>

 Note that two of the types in this namespace, <xref:System.Globalization.CultureAndRegionInfoBuilder> and <xref:System.Globalization.CultureAndRegionModifiers>, are found in an assembly named sysglobl.dll. Successfully compiling code that uses these types requires that you add a reference to sysglobl.dll.
