I kind of understand for i18n, but not for most other things

What could be the possible benefit of collapsing 'internationalization' to "i18n"? Which scarce resource (time? space?) was saved, in what context?

For example, I'll take "react-internationalization" over "react-i18n" for a package name any day.

Why obscure anything unless a clear problem was solved doing it, that warrants the ambiguity?
