“…Usefulness: Participants of a study conducted by [16] on the localization of accounting software were of the opinion that localized software contributes to a better understanding of accounting concepts compared to a non-localized interface. In addition, a mixed approach study (usability tests using localized cell-phones interfaces, questionnaires, and interviews) of 88 participants revealed that localized software improves cell-phone users' device competency [20].…”

There are thousands of languages worldwide but only some of them are flourishing while many face extinction. This leads to a situation where computer graphical interfaces are mostly presented in English even for users from other indigenous languages. This presents a challenge for non-English natives, hence the need for software localization, defined as the presentation of computer graphical user interfaces in non-English languages. The aim of this study was to examine the perceived usefulness of the localization of programming compilers in African indigenous languages. Users’ perspectives were examined in this study through a questionnaire based survey of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) students from universities in the KwaZulu-Natal province of South Africa. These perspectives were analysed in the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software, and it was found that localizing compilers in African languages is perceived as very useful by users, irrespective of demographic, cultural, language, and programming proficiency factors. The contribution of this research resides in the provision of new evidence on the usability of localized software

“…In addition based on studies [5,7,9] cultural background and user experience are also important factors to promote user understandings towards the design metaphors. In [7] the researchers came across with several users who perceive that an envelope is a function to transfer money based on the mental model that they built from previous experience using envelopes.…”

“…In [7] the researchers came across with several users who perceive that an envelope is a function to transfer money based on the mental model that they built from previous experience using envelopes. Another study by [4] design metaphors could provide an alternative user interface to user ability where they discovered users with low-level literacy would favor iconic user interface.…”

Metaphor is a representation of object and situation that have meaning and comparable to real thing to convey the message to people. The purpose of using metaphor is to facilitate in making communication more direct and effective for particular user communities. This study reveals design metaphor issues for paddy farmer population in agriculture domain in Malaysia. The work is motivated by the ICT-Based Agriculture Flagship Blueprint of the Malaysia Government, an initiative to equips agriculture stakeholders in Malaysia including farmers with ICT knowledge on multiple platforms e.g. kiosk, personal computer or mobile device. The metaphors design is deemed to have a huge potential to improve user interface usability of agriculture applications for paddy farmers in Malaysia.
