When we talk about accessibility, we often focus on screen readers, contrast ratios, or navigation patterns. But for global users, accessibility also means being understood — linguistically, culturally, and contextually. This session broadens the traditional view of accessibility to include cultural accessibility and multilingual usability in digital learning environments.

Attendees will explore how design choices — such as language, examples, imagery, and task framing — can unintentionally exclude or empower international users. Through real-world case studies, they will see how accessibility and localization intersect, and how UX research can uncover hidden barriers in global products.

Participants will gain actionable strategies to:

– Design interfaces and content that work across languages and cultures
– Conduct inclusive usability testing with multilingual users
– Integrate cultural insights into accessibility checklists and design systems
