Abstract
User research always presents challenges of interpretation, but these challenges are much greater when the research is done internationally. This is true regardless of whether the research is carried out in one country other than the researcher’s own, or in multiple countries. In this paper, we discuss a number of these challenges, and to offer some practical ways to minimize them.
