Brief
What had to change
"Every career tool I wanted to hand an Indonesian friend was in English, priced in dollars, and shaped around applying to a US company. A few had an Indonesian UI bolted on and you could feel where the bolt was. They still tell you to take the photo off your CV — normal advice in the US, the opposite of the convention here. None of them have heard of CPNS. None of them know which papers have to be in your hand before you can legally start work in Japan." And the design response, in the same voice: "Translating the buttons doesn't fix that, because the assumptions live in the data, not the copy. So I built it the other way round: model one hiring market properly, and treat other languages as a rendering problem."
