Most software companies are making 50% of their revenue from overseas, yet the methods used only guarantee good usability for the domestic version. Often, designs rely upon American metaphors, American objects, and American tastes. Designs are rarely designed with their various target nations and cultures in mind from the beginning. This talk offers a brief introduction to the issue of designing user interfaces for international audiences. It shows some the the differences in the way people communicate/act and the impact of those differences on the user interface. Slides from all over the world will be shown as well as examples of good and bad designs from software products.
