Internationally, Mother's Day celebrates our similarities while embracing our cultural differences. For example, in the US, the "Hallmark holiday" is dominated by moms' cards and flowers. But in Thailand, Mother's Day marks the birthday of the queen and citizens light candles and sing for the majestic mother.

The Globalization and Localization Association (GALA) is an international non-profit organization that promotes local communications and has members stretched out across six continents. Many of our members are linguist and local culture specialists. They understand the importance of local communications. They recognize the similarities and differences in cultures around the world whether they are working on Mother's Day communications or technical documents for a global pharmaceutical company.

GALA has gathered these facts on Mother's Day localized from members. You can use them to add color to your broadcast or website. Feel free to link to the list of Happy Mother's Day greetings at http://www.gala-global.org/mothersday. You also may be interested in:
