When English is a Second Language and its Effect on User Experience
How great is the impact on performance when the user interface is not in the user’s native language?
At Thomson Reuters, they found that non-native English speakers encounter difficulties using English interfaces. These difficulties are expressed as usage patterns such as skipping or ignoring features, free interpretation, and more. In the course of their research, they identified language-related usability issues and adapted these solutions for our global products.
Sagit will share their findings, possible causes of problems, and solutions that you can implement immediately to improve your users’ experience.
