Cross-Cultural Design Localization Training

Course Description: Localizing user experience to meet the unique needs of different locales requires a localization + UX approach. This Cross-Cultural Design Localization Training gets to the heart of designing for users across cultures. First, we look at cross-cultural design challenges and how to bring UX maturity to localization efforts. In designing across cultures, we aim to bring a cultural sensitivity to design choices. Second, we tackle the challenges of culture and how to design for varied audiences. Getting the mechanics of cultural differences right is critical for Localization UX; this training gives you the tools to do this.
