Has anyone figured this out? Since "Term" is not a content type, the "Localization" part cannot be attached to it...

It doesn't have to be a content part (that would actually not work), it has to be a content type, and it is.

Sorry Bertrand, i meant "content type".

I can "Add Part" - "Localization"  to the "Content Type - Taxonomy", but that only allows to localize the Taxonomy itself, not the "Terms" that belong to it.

Let's say i have a taxonomy named "Category" and it has terms "General" and "Specific". I can localize the taxonomy to french "Catégorie", but i would have to add new terms to the "Catégorie" ("généraux", "spécifiques")

Now i can add "Taxonomy field" to a "Content Type - Blog Post", but i can select either "Category" or "Catégorie".

Then the en-US blog post would have a "Category" taxonomy selected, but fr-FR translation of that blog post does not allow me to choose "Catégorie", nor does it have any mapping between terms "General" and "généraux"...

Correct me if i am wrong, but the way i see it, taxonomies are currently not properly localizable...

Figured it out.

Bertrand was probably meaning this:

When i added "Category" Taxonomy,  "Category Term" Content Type appeared and then i was able to attach "Localization" to it...

Any means that we can add localization to term part not to the (( just created Term which is content item )) coz its making no sense to add localization to every term added after adding it then go and translate it I hope you got me 

I mean look at Drupal they add specific module named taxonomy translation this module can add localization to taxonomy and its terms with out creating new term by dropping locales in different table named locale
