Tips

grammar
(huà) is one of the most productive suffixes in modern Chinese — turns nouns/adjectives into verbs meaning 'to become / make X' (compare English '-ize' or '-ify'). Examples: 个人化 ('personalize'), 现代化 ('modernize'), 简化 ('simplify'), 自动化 ('automate'), 国际化 ('internationalize'). Often translated as both verb and noun in English.
usage
Frequent in tech/UX contexts: 个人化推荐 ('personalized recommendation'), 个人化设置 ('personalized settings'), 个人化体验 ('personalized experience'). The competing term 定制 (dìngzhìhuà, 'customization') is closer to bespoke / made-to-order.
