Vary examples in content. | From example to example, vary the national
identity of business and personal names, addresses, telephone
numbers, email addresses, currency, and URLs. You might need
to include a disclaimer noting that any similarity to real
people, places, or things is coincidental. |
Be sensitive to how the cultural aspects of a
use-case scenario will be interpreted by other
cultures. | Social situations, politics, religion, events,
holidays, sports, traditions, and legal and business practices
vary worldwide. For example, greeting cards are uncommon in
many parts of the world, and in some cultures men and women do
not touch in public, even to shake hands. |
Avoid mentioning real places altogether, or use
the names of international cities that are easily
recognized. | If you must mention real places, vary the locales
that are represented from one example to the next. For
example, you might mention Tokyo, Paris, and New
York. |
Do not discuss technologies and standards that
are not used worldwide unless you have no other
choice. | Standards for telephone, cellular phone, email,
and wireless technologies, as well as electrical and video
standards, vary worldwide. |
Do not assume that United States standards are familiar to
everyone. | Keyboard layouts, default paper and envelope
sizes, common printers, monitor resolutions, character sets,
text direction, and input methods vary
worldwide. |
