> The Turkish newspaper Hürriyet reports a tragic consequence of the failure to localize cell phones. . . only to be attacked by his wife, her father, and two sisters. He was stabbed in the chest but succeeded in grabbing a knife, stabbing his wife, and getting away. Emine died of her wounds; Ramazan killed himself in jail.
Sorry, I don’t think you can blame this on technology. Stick and stones and all that.
- ivan_gammel 2y agoThere‘s the root cause of an incident and systemic problems that escalated it to a tragic outcome. The systemic problems are the culture. The root cause is incorrect localization, because the causal link is clear and in the chain of events it comes earlier than culture-specific behavior. So yes, UX killed them.
- roenxi 2y agoLocalisation isn't the root cause because he'd probably have been stabbed regardless. If you walk into a room to apologise and 4 people attempt to kill you, it was not 1 poorly transcribed text message that was the problem. > She showed the message to her father, who angrily called Ramazan and accused him of calling his daughter a prostitute. This is the point where the father found out that the text message was a localisation error. If they were confused about his meaning when they tried to knife him then the root cause was his poor communication skills. Otherwise it was some unknown issue.
