Abstract
24-29 April1993 How Fluent is Your Interface? Designing Patricia Human Two Chelmsford, Interface SunSoft Elizabeth MA Drive 01824, USA Russo Engineering lNlfRtHr93 for International Users Stephen Analytical The Boston One Cabot Medford, MA Boor Services Company Road 02155, USA 508-442-0212 [email protected] 617-382-9242 ABSTRACT To successfully build bridges between worlds, user interfaee designers must increase their awareness of cross-cultural differences, and make changes to the traditional software development process. Creating fluent interfaces for international markets goes beyond translating text and date, time, and number formats. This paper presents and explains a cross<ultural checklist of issues including text, local formats, images, symbols, colors, flow, and product functionality. Suggestions for an effective international product development cycle are provided. The suggested development cycle incorporates international design feedback and usability testing before the initial product is released. when we engage in participatory design However, as a eommtmity we have not always extended our view to include cultural awareness as an aspect of user awareness. Research on the topic of designing for international users is sparse. In the past, Nielsen has provided the CHI community with the most relevant work [9, 10, 11].
