Manu Narayan owns several first-class hotels worldwide, including properties in Manhattan, Bombay, and even some in suburbia. He wants to make sure that the human-computer interface is appropriate to each culture but wants to be able to share the software among all of his hotel reservations departments.

What will be an ideal response?

A sample menu is shown below, with a second menu following it. The students could also design a drop-down menu. The changes needed for international users would be the order of the menu items. For example, in Japanese culture, reading is from the lower right to the upper left. Menu numbers and descriptions would be in the language of the country, as well as colors and icons. Instructions should be translated correctly by a person that is fluent in the language of the country. Date formats should also correspond to the format used by the culture, not necessarily month, day, and year. A drop-down list of the language may be used. If the menu is on the Web, the country language code may be used to detect the menu and load a new Web page based on the language.
