Mahdi H. Miraz, Peter Excell, and Maaruf Ali

摘要:

大量的网络和桌面应用程序现在以不同的人类语言广泛使用。本文探讨了与多语言用户特别相关的设计问题。它报告了对跨文化和跨国边界的信息系统(IS)问题和用户行为的持续研究。以英国广播公司的网站作为一个模型,是国际公认的,可用性测试进行比较不同版本的网站。从问卷中得出的因变量进行了分析(通过描述性统计),以阐明多语言UI设计问题。使用主成分分析(PCA),五个去相关的变量,然后用于假设检验。赫茨伯格的工作场所的动机理论的修改版本,适用于评估网站中使用的组件。总体而言,得出的结论是,网站的英文版提供了更好的可用性结果,这意味着需要更深入地研究翻译版本的可用性问题。

英文摘要:

A multitude of web and desktop applications are now widely available in diverse human languages. This paper explores the design issues that are specifically relevant for multilingual users. It reports on the continued studies of Information System (IS) issues and users' behaviour across cross-cultural and transnational boundaries. Taking the BBC website as a model that is internationally recognised, usability tests were conducted to compare different versions of the website. The dependant variables derived from the questionnaire were analysed (via descriptive statistics) to elucidate the multilingual UI design issues. Using Principal Component Analysis (PCA), five de-correlated variables were identified which were then used for hypotheses tests. A modified version of Herzberg's Hygiene-motivational Theory about the Workplace was applied to assess the components used in the website. Overall, it was concluded that the English versions of the website gave superior usability results and this implies the need for deeper study of the problems in usability of the translated versions.
