ABSTRACT
In today’s international market, we must routinely communicate across barriers of language and culture. Even within a single country, products must overcome language barriers. Interfaces for such products, therefore, must also communicate across boundaries of language and culture.

Yet, well-chosen and designed graphics can still help user interfaces span cultural and language barriers. This chapter shows how.
