In the last month, I’ve been a mentor/judge at two XR hackathons : the XR Game Jam in Helsinki and the XRCC in Berlin.

To avoid awkward and sometimes disastrous learning content, instructional designers must use authentic translation in the right context to get optimal results. For example, even a simple phrase like “got milk” translates to “are you lactating” in Mexico. Can you imagine what a straight translation might do to your course?
