Corey Lee(@factorzero):Ironically that came full circle when I eventually got to help localize Figma into Japanese and Korean. I think leanring Japanese has helped me become a better designer by reducing some of my design biases and gaining an understanding of problems monolinguals might miss.

A lot of people take for granted how easy it is to use software in Latin script languages. CJK is still causes a lot of challenges. When I first started using Figma you couldn't even type japanese characters so I sent a request to fox that.
