Abstract

Chapter 1 serves as the introduction to the manuscript. The chapter lays a foundation for the discussion of the three localization processes advanced in the book: linguistic localization, subversive localization, and user-heuristic localization. Chapters 5, 6, and 7 fully develop these concepts, respectively. Ultimately, the author argues that these three processes help to capture users as heroes who shape, redesign, and localize an available technology for their need. The chapter also discusses the subject of the book: user localization strategies, the aims of the book, the audience, significance, and the major questions that drive the project.
