These are my last hours in China. I’m currently in Beijing and today I’m taking the plane to get back to Italy. As usual, when a trip ends I’m a bit sad about what I leave, but I’m also a bit happy because I see my own country again and I can finally eat some good pasta :). By the way, if you want to read a bit more about my trip, be sure to check out my article on the XR ecosystem in China.

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? With over 317 million people in the US and over 6.7 billion potential customers in the world, personalizing training seems logical.
