Anyone know what that means or how to deal with it?
Thanks.

I have the same problem - from germany :-(
Same problem... USA. I don't think it has anything to do with your actual location. I can't believe this has been up for so long and Apple hasnt addressed it. Pretty crappy support if you ask me.
Keep in mind that this isn't Apple support here. We're all just users like yourself, volunteering our time.
If you have a problem that isn't being addressed here (or even if it is) you can always contact Apple support either on-line, by phone or going to an Apple Store.
Print ordering through Aperture isn't something I've ever done so I can't help you and the lack of response to this indicates to me that this isn't a very common situation.
Again you should contact Apple if you can't get the issue resolved here.

In the meantime have you gone throught the normal troubleshooting steps (see: Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics ) Also a reinstall of Aperture would be a worthwhile step.
Sorry I came across as so snarky. I had been researching the issue for a long time and was a little more than frustrated.
I ended up getting it solved- it aparently was an Apple ID keychain issue. A delete of the "NetServices" entry in the Keychain Access utility caused Aperture to forget my AppleID information. Once I re-entered it the order went through flawlessly.
That's OK in the range of snarkynees that ocasionally shows up here yours was pretty low 😉
Glad you got your problem fixed. If I may suggest you could post your solution as a new non-question thread. It might help others having the same problem.

the netservices keychain governs the access to print order through your apple Id for iphoto and aperture. I was able to order the same prints in iphoto and still got the error on a system wide level in Aperture. that keychain removal isn't an end all fix for everyone
I still have this problem after deleting NetServices and other keychain entries related to my Apple ID or Aperture. My Apple ID works in every other application, I am able to buy items in iTunes and AppStore with the same account.
Does anyone have further tips?
Wondering if anyone came back with a solution. I'm still having the LOCALIZE problem and would like to purchase the book I created. How frustrating is this???
I had this again/still as well. After much futzing around with my basic AppleID account (I fiddled with the credit card numbers and the expiration dates, etc.), I finally got this problem to disappear. This had NEVER worked and I finally got it to work.
What was stopping me was the dialog box AFTER you log into the system that asks you to fill out some more stuff to CREATE an account. Well, I wasn't CREATING an account, so I never did this. But I bit the bullet and entered all my correct (current) account information, and I was actually able to make it work. Maybe this is the same place that's been stopping you, too.
I was having the same issue as everyone else, but then I called Apple and my issue was that we do need to create a new account for Aperture (it can be the same as our iTunes/App Store/Etc.) but then the answer to the security question needs to be at least 6 characters long.
Hope this helps.
I finally solved the problem and succeeded in ordering my book.
After calling Apple Support, and re-installing the program, nothing worked. Still got the LOCALIZE error.
Apple suggested, when I called, to delete all my profile information and billing information in my Apple Account and re-entering
For some reason, some information just didn't want to enter. ie Credit Card information etc.
Then I noticed in the ordering section of Aperture, you could create an Apple Account. Heh, but I have an Apple Account..... so I figured ok, I'll ignore my current account and create a new one.
So instead of my current email I submitted new information using my alternative gmail.com account.
Same billing address, same credit card except this time I used gmail.com.
Success!!! Aperture reconnized this new account and processed the book. Don't know why, but problem solved. Easy-Peasy. My original Apple account still exist and I use it for iTunes etc. The new one though is for Aperture and I'll use it for ordering books or prints.
Hope this works for others.
Let Apple know, even if you don't get a resolution, the more calls and noted cases with application issues the more Apple can gather info, document and have software engineers look at the problem. They do work on the problems if many people have the issue. It's good to give the developers of the software that we like to use some "ground zero" prespective.
When you order prints, sign out of your Apple ID, and sign in again. Update the detalis, like if you were creating a new account. This will update you Apple ID with the missing information, and you are herafter able to order prints. Worked for me.
