Picture instructions with no words |
|
For some reason I have a much harder time with instructions written this way than with ones with words. I also miss something small and stupid on their unlabled diagrams. Would it be that hard for companies to always say a few words with their picture instructions? Am I the only one who is greatly helped by the use of words?

1. They use pictograms to save money |
|
because they don't have to pay to have it translated. It's all about saving money for the corp, not making things easier for the consumer.

3. I suspected translation might be part of the issue |
|
The name of the product was printed in five languages so I suppose that they didn't want to write instructions in five languages.

2. No, I have to have words, but |
|
The steps have to be listed separately. Anything just written altogether in blocks just totally confuses me.

4. I hate it when it's in several languages. . . |
|
and you have to keep skipping over the French and Spanish to get to the English part.
