Ever wondered how language shapes our digital experiences? As tech giants focus on connecting with Indian users, understanding the nuances of local dialects is crucial for crafting effective UX and especially now when AI is making inroads in every digital interaction. At Turian Labs, we go beyond traditional research, tapping into our design thinking DNA to uncover deeper cultural insights. Recently, our team watched English Vinglish, a film that brilliantly captures the unique structures, emotional depth, and cultural vibrancy of the English language. Language is a reflection of our identity. As we work on localizing digital experiences, we're reminded of how language can shape user connections with technology.

Two weeks ago, I had the privilege of leading a full-day workshop for fellow UX designers at the World Usability Congress. In the first part, AI beyond the hype, we started with unpacking what UX designers should know about AI and large language models (LLMs). I shared my perspective on the AI buzz, what trends are here to stay, and what may fade away and which are the most relevant to UX designers. Here were my top takeaways: 1) Embrace generative AI to accelerate your work, not to do the work for you 2) Stay true to design thinking: Identify the real problem first, before you decide AI is the answer. 3) The biggest challenge is not to create a fancy POC, but to scale that POC and make it production ready Curious about the next phase of our workshop? Stay tuned or send me a PM! Next, we explore prompt engineering—the essential skill for effective AI-UX interaction.

Blending UX leadership and product management experience to deliver exceptional outcomes. Trying to spread a little kindness and understanding at the same time.
Do you find yourself getting in the middle of conversations and then translating, so both sides can understand? Then you might be good at UX; here's why... Being able to intrinsically understand what someone is trying to get across - not just the words they're using - is a key indicator that you're skilled at empathising. Looking beyond what you're hearing to the underlying meaning is critical to giving people what will make them happy, not necessarily what they say they want. I frequently find myself in a position where I can see two people are misunderstanding each other. They're both convinced the words they're saying are coming across a particular way, and as a third party it's easy for me to see that they're not. I find myself interjecting (not always with the full support of those arguing! 😂) and trying to help both sides understand each other. Seeing what people mean, not what they say, and helping people to clarify their intent into insights everyone can understand is core behaviour for a UXer. So, if you find yourself doing it a lot, and you've never worked in UX, perhaps check it out and see if it's right for you. Extra reading - a little while ago, I wrote a short article about giving the user what they need, not what they ask for: https://lnkd.in/eCHqPPrD #ux #universaltranslator #empathy ETA: I know, that AI generated image is a bit 'great white saviour', isn't it? One of the big issues we face with generative AI right now is the inherent bias in its outputs, and the entrenchment of the status quo. None of the other three images I generated was any better...

Designing a Seamless Translation Tool for Travelers: A Deep Dive into UX/UI! In today’s global world, language barriers shouldn't hold back travelers. That's why I designed a user-friendly translation tool that bridges communication gaps, making travel more enjoyable and accessible. This project focused on creating an intuitive translation tool tailored for travelers. The goal was to design an interface that is not only functional but also easy to navigate, ensuring users can quickly and efficiently translate phrases on the go. 🌍✈️ Check out the full case study on Behance to see how this project came together: https://lnkd.in/gKmjx7s7 I'd love to hear your thoughts on this project! 💬 #UIUXDesign #UserExperience #DesignSystems #TranslationApp #ProductDesign #UXResearch

A really good article on considerations when designing great Natural Language interactions from Frog Design. “The reality is that apps and websites aren’t always the best ways to get the job done. In particular, they are terrible for completing more nuanced tasks, requiring continuous task-switching and leading to increased mental load.” Just an additional consideration when reading this came to mind; don’t overlook the power of in-person service-led interactions (or conversations to be more natural language oriented 😂) within retail/service physical locations…they are often even better. Old school experiences are’t always the wrong customer experience answer when designed well by brands!

It's a thrilling paradigm shift! 🚀 And speaking of AI, ever wondered what happens when a chatbot tries UX design? It ends up asking users, "Are you sure you want to exit? I'm feeling a bit abandoned here!" 😂 Let's lead the charge in crafting inclusive, accessible designs that embrace both human and AI interactions. #UXDesign #AI #Innovation I extend an invitation to share your insights on this ever-evolving panorama of UX design.

🌍 Making AI More Accessible with Regional Languages! 🌍 As a UI/UX designer, I’m always looking for ways to make technology more user-friendly. I recently discovered a new feature that allows AI to seamlessly interact using regional languages mixed with English – like Hinglish, Tanglish, Benglish, and more! This is a game-changer for creating inclusive, intuitive experiences for users from diverse backgrounds. Designing interfaces that accommodate multiple languages and cultural nuances is key, and this feature brings us one step closer to making AI truly accessible to everyone. Whether it's for work or daily conversations, users can now engage with technology in a way that feels natural to them. It’s exciting to see how AI is evolving to meet real-world needs, making interactions more personalized and easier for users everywhere! 🚀 #UIUXDesign #UserExperience #MultilingualTech #InclusiveDesign #AIInnovation #DesignForAll

Flags in language selectors symbolize nations, not languages. Available language options should be labeled in their native language to enable users to find their language quickly. Adding a Country ISO Code makes it accessible to everybody. #UX #UI #UserExperience #RadixUI

3moThis is exciting! I believe language plays the most important role in enhancing user experience, esp in a country like ours where technology is being exposed to & adopted by millions rapidly. And understanding Indian English is fun to me, its not very fancy in terms of vocabulary, people use simple words to communicate but understanding the tone of it carries it all! If you understand the tone, you understood the context in which it's spoken! An example would be, "We can do this?" indicates surprise/unexpected approval and "Can we do this?" would indicate seeking permission politely or letting someone agree on the plan. Its just the way one speaks, makes the difference!
