Leading authorities from around the world discuss the latest topics in international user-interface design.





With most major companies in the computer industry depending on exports for 50 percent or more of their sales, user-interface design teams face a major challenge in making their products both useful and accessible to the global marketplace.

? Managing a Multiple-Language Document System.


? An Intelligent Lexical Management System for Multilingual Machine Translation.


? A Chinese Text Display Supported by an Algorithm for Chinese Segmentation.


? Breaking the Language Barrier with Graphics.
