AFAICT, GRASS doesn't use the term "project".

The term "location" (in the sense of database,location,mapset) refers
to a geographical location, i.e. a "place" on the earth's surface.

Google's translator gives "localización". Is that appropriate? It
sounds like the English localisation, which means something different
("localise" (verb) = assign to a location, "localisation" (noun) = the
process of doing so).
