AHFE Open AccessWarnings and Multilingual Audiences
Abstract
Available approaches for communicating warnings and safety information to linguistically diverse audiences have advantages and limitations, but research on this topic is limited. We conducted a semi-systematic literature search to identify peer-reviewed scientific articles addressing communication of product safety information to consumers from diverse language backgrounds. Our review highlights three communication approaches: single-language, bilingual or multilingual, and non-linguistic. Existing research regarding advantages and limitations of each approach is summarized, along with opportunities for future research.
Keywords: Warnings, Labels, Safety Information, Non-native Speakers, Language Barriers, Information Design
