These cultural factors affect how audiences in the international context perceive and react to the message you share with them. These cultural factors also mean that writing for international audiences is different from writing for your domestic audiences. This chapter uses different examples to illustrate these ideas. Specifically, the chapter uses these examples to demonstrate the need for writing usable, meaningful, and credible messages for audiences from other cultures. The chapter also introduces the process of document localization as a tool for creating such messages from the perspectives of multicultural audiences. The chapter concludes by providing guidelines and best practices for composing culturally usable, meaningful, and credible texts for diverse audiences in international contexts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Alternate Downloads:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">You may also download this chapter from Parlor Press or WAC Clearinghouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"\">Writing Spaces is published in partnership with&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.parlorpress.com\/\">Parlor Press<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/wac.colostate.edu\/\">WAC Clearinghouse<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Keshab Raj Acharya Volume 6 Chapter Description Culture matters in defining your behaviors, norms, values, and belief systems.
