Which of these "internationalization" tags should be merged?

Question

I just merged "i18n" into "internationalization" (which seems straightforward).

We now have several related tags, some of which should probably be merged:

Any opinions on which one(s) should remain and which one(s) should be merged?

I just merged mutliregion into internationalization. I'm not making other changes at this time due to lack of discussion and consensus. — Stephen Ostermiller, Nov 4, 2013 at 12:34

Thoughts so far:

Multilingual should stay
Language is ambiguous so I hesitate to make it a synonym of anything without further discussion
Multiregion should become a synonym of internationalization (if we keep that one)

Problem with Multiregion, can't it also be used to describe nationalization too.

I believe the term we're looking for here is "l10n" or "localization" - nuanced difference.

The description of language is "questions about multiple human languages", while the description of multilingual is IMO over-long and over-specific. Replace the long description with the short one and make language into a synonym.

I'm in favor of merging all of the tags into "internationalization".

Looking through the questions that are tagged with the variants, all of them would work well with an "internationalization" tag.
