Every culture has different understanding and experience from the other. Thus, sometimes the designer need to design according to one’s culture to enable people from other countries could use the product. Some criterias that could be use in designing for different culture are international standard paper sizes, envelope sizes and address format. Try to avoid from using text in any image format because it could not be translated by online translator. Also, allow space for text expansion.
Be sensitive with the signs, colours, symbols used because it could meant an entirely different thing in other culture. Use generic icon instead. Ensure that the product supports various calendar, date and time formats. Make sure it also support various currencies.
Designers could decide on their own whether they wanted to produce an internationally appeal website where everyone from every countries could understand when they access the website/product or tailor-made the website/product according to one’s culture.
