Hi Nikhil, To address your questions:
1) Local Monthly Search Volume is is calculated on a monthly basis, as the name indicates. 2) The local search volume is based off of the language and geo targeting your specify, while the global search volume is across all searches. If you don't specify any geo or language targeting then the two numbers will be the same. 3) You can get the competition using the COMPETITION attribute: http://code.google.com/apis/adwords/docs/reference/latest/TargetingIdeaService.AttributeType.html#COMPETITION 4) Locale codes are only used for string formatting, etc. Use CountryTargetSearchParameter or LanguageTargetSearchParameter to limit the results.
