それぞれ

The word それぞれ can be used to provide the meaning "each" or "in one's own way." It's intended to focus on each individual or thing within a group.

学校が終わって、子供達はそれぞれ自分の家に帰って行った。
School ended, and the children each went to their own home.

それぞれフォーマットやデータプロトコルが違い、コンテンツの処理方法も異なっていた。
Each one had its own formats, data protocols, and different ways of dealing with content.
(Example found here)

それぞれの国には、それぞれの文化や習慣がある。
Each and every country has its own culture and customs.

ここはセルフサービスですから、それぞれ自分の好きな食べ物を取って食べて下さい。
Since it's self service here, take the food you like and eat it as you want.

These translations are awkward since we often don't word these statements in such a way, but I've done my best to make them natural while still conveying the original idea.
