Chinese term

本土化

Chinese to English Art/Literary Music
某某人为一位台湾本土化作家,其作品深深表现出台湾本土独特的民情。

Due to the nature of the sentence, I do not think "localised" (or localized) would be appropriate. I have thought about "indigenised" (or indigenized) - from "indigenous", but really can't make up my mind. Any suggestions or opinions are most welcomed. Thank you.

OK. Thanks.
Note from asker:
Thank you very much for your help. 由于文章内要明显的突出其“本土化”的特性,在此Local并不足于显示或凸显其义。 无论如何,还是很感谢您的建议。

agree Dr JM Chen, PhD : 'local' (本地的) is fine, but not 'localised/localized' (局部化的, 限局性的) as mentioned in the quesiton.

agree Bea Geenen : Yes, I think the 化 can be ignored here, unless the artist is a foreigner who has settled down in Taiwan.
