Does the word automatization exist?
I read again and again the word automatization. Being German I suppose that most people just "anglicize" the German word Automatisierung.

 * 1) if somebody confirms that both words are common, could the word automatization be added to en.wiktionary.org?
 * 2) could then be explained what the difference between these words is (area, dialect,...)
