Designing for Cultural Inclusion
summary
Discusses how cultural background affects comprehension and color meanings and references WCAG criteria on text understanding. Presents concrete techniques: use CSS variables to swap palettes per locale, prefer logical properties (margin-inline/margin-block and inset) over directional margins, choose language-specific fonts with fallbacks (example: Lobster), and test RTL layouts with flexbox/grid because simple mirroring can fail; demonstrates small, testable changes to avoid misreading and visual miscommunication.
