The demanding challenges urge us to develop an effective way to address cultural issues in IT localization and design well-localized products to support complex activities in a concrete context. This article proposes an activity approach to cross-cultural design informed by key concepts and methods from activity theory, genre theory, and British cultural studies. The approach brings cross-cultural design focus from operational affordances to social affordances.
