- 29athrowaway 3y agoIt is just weird to me that using those names was perceived as a necessary step.
- viharkurama 3y agoI agree to the idea of not ignoring Indian names. We do have India names as well on certain screenshots. To distribute well we used all kinds of names. We tried our best to globalize.
- pdappollonio 3y agoNative Spanish speaker that builds software for English speaking markets: I don't think I would write a software or make screenshots where I would think first to put names like Juan or Pedro in them if the target audience is English speakers. When you're writing English it just feels like the names flow better, that's all (like, avoiding stutter in a sentence, but with names). I don't think it would be fair to say we're just not honoring our roots
- 29athrowaway 3y agoWhy not? Also you could use "Joe" and "Pedro" instead. To me it seems even more global.
- viharkurama 3y agoWe used Joe and Pedro on some of our screenshots. Discussion is all about that :)
- gervwyk 3y agoValid. I get your point.
