Multi-cultural multimedia
Effectively designed multimedia can span boundaries of language, culture, and
values. However, the costs for localizing multimedia often exceed the costs
of creating it in the first place. And the results are often more confusing
and embarrassing than informative. How can you communicate to the whole world?
This presentation offers practical tips on ways to design multimedia for international
learners, including:
- Using images that everyone will recognize
- Designing for those that listen in a second language
- Reducing reliance on language-and costly translation
- Avoiding accidental insults, confusion, and embarrassment
