Post 1 : Introduction

Verbal communication will become a barrier in the world of travel and tourism as different countries prioritise their narrative language as part of their cultural etnicity. Most European countries utilise English as their primary communication language, which should reduce the speech barrier. English language learnt in school lacks vocal communication, thus if a person learns the language in school visits England, she or he must relearn the language because the country uses slang in most parts. As a result, it remains a barrier for any person who want to travel or stay in England.T

These kinds of issues were addressed in 2000’s by the Google ecosystem, which made language barriers easier by offering services like Google Translate and Maps, which have grown to be the most frequently used apps since you use them whenever you want to travel or locate a location on a map. To translate the instructions at any time, simply select Translate although the tools still need further improvement.

Google Translate

Figure 1 : As you can see, when you sign with your Google account, Google Translate adapts to the person’s narrative language and most of the text was translated although not everything or translation was slightly incorrect (Google Translate, n.d).

Google Maps

Figure 2 : When creating areas, signage, and the navigation and wayfinding system, there are several typical mistakes made in signage design. Examples include incorrect design, grouping, and particularly failing to take into account all potential consumers (Google Maps, 2023).

Visual Language

To address these issues, a viable solution would be to use visual language, which allows for faster communication and enhances vocabulary by the brain remembering the symbols, which aids in remembering the new term. The prospective visual language app and web tool should be accurate and allow for a smooth transition. This method will help alleviate the worry associated with becoming lost in a strange location.

Summary

With these issues in mind, a potential solution will be developed to improve the user experience and fix the challenges we are now experiencing. Inconsistency, translation errors, and accuracy are examples. By developing a new tool that makes extensive use of visual language and addresses all of the navigational issues that users face on a daily basis. Also, when people desire to travel overseas or enter the UK for the first time.
