About this program
International audiences have always gotten the short end of the stick when it comes to user experiences. While companies have already learned the immense value great UX can have, only a fraction of the effort is invested in ensuring that localized products offer the same level of experience to international users.
The reason for this is knowledge - specifically, a wide knowledge gap separating localization teams and UX teams, making it harder for both to collaborate and work together towards this mutual goal of optimizing localized UX.
This training will give international product and localization teams an in-depth look into the considerations of international content design. Together, we will learn how great UX copy is made, how it can be adapted to different locales in language and culture, and how we can support the creation of equally great content in multiple languages.
