the example you mentioned about red and green is particularly interesting – in western cultures we tend to associate red with “stop” or danger and green with “go” or safety, but it’s completely flipped in some asian countries. that could really cause some confusing moments if you’re not careful!

i think the localization aspect is key here. it’s not just about translating text – visual elements matter just as much. for anyone working on international projects, this should definitely be part of the research phase.

thanks for sharing this – it’s a good reminder that design choices have cultural implications we might not immediately think about.
