This is a tumblelog, kinda like a blog but with short-form, mixed-media posts with stuff I like. Scroll down a bit to start reading, or a bit more to read more about me.
By Dr. David Travis (@userfocus) over at User Focus articles. In a nutshell: be careful about the words you’re using and some of the other things that you might take for granted (e.g., clicking on the logo to go “home” on your site). These things may be obvious to you but might completely miss your target audience. Also: worth it for the phrase “jargon in-breeding” alone.
Alex Sexton strikes again, right at the heart of why i18n problems only seem easy. It appears that this is the presentation version of the article I linked to back in April. Great treatment of the subject.
A decent write-up by Alex Sexton on — when all is said and done — why putting in the extra effort to do proper i18n (and/or L10n) makes a big difference to your customers. (And/but: I’ll split some short and fine hairs on the use of “UX” here — feeling that it’s a bit of a “link-bait-y” usage — but just the same: good piece.)
