I’m super happy to announce you that next week I am going to travel to Asia again, this time to go to Taiwan :O. I’ve been officially invited to the “VR VISIONARIES” event that will take place in Kaohsiung from May 14th to 16th. There I will be able to meet some people from the Taiwanese VR ecosystem and be able to create business relationships with some local XR companies for my consultancy agency New Technology Walkers.

To avoid awkward and sometimes disastrous learning content, instructional designers must use authentic translation in the right context to get optimal results. For example, even a simple phrase like “got milk” translates to “are you lactating” in Mexico. Can you imagine what a straight translation might do to your course? With over 317 million people in the US and over 6.7 billion potential customers in the world, personalizing training seems logical.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned.
