International User Interfaces

Rating:
Summary: A mish-mash of articles that's not very actionable.
Review: I had recently purchased the NielsenNorman group's International User Interfaces whitepaper, ..., was impressed with the whitepaper, and consequently had high hopes for this book. I was pretty disappointed. It's a mish-mash of articles, only a few of which were very actionable. One such article, in chapter 3, is pretty good in that it covers to what degree various cultures communicate explicitly versus non-explicitly. This fact alone is very useful to anyone doing usability testing or market research outside the US.

Summary: what any sw developer should know
Review: We also recommend the book "SW Internationalization and Localization" by Uren, Howard, Perinotti.
