Culturalization of Software Architecture: Issues and Challenges

Culturalization of the software architecture started in the 1990s with the user interface. Culturalization of core issues was discussed by Kersten in 2001. However, advances in technology in recent years, increased demands to accommodate new cultures and languages, presented new challenges which require deeper understanding and richer perspective. There has been little discussion about the values and practices that are embedded in the data and language issues of the software especially for bidirectional language such as Arabic and Hebrew.
