Hey, so for my recontextualized language I took each letter of the model number, HNDE03, and manually pulled out each word in every language that started with that letter (or number). I then typed these words into Microsoft Word and formatted them into the letter that they begin with. So, each word that began with the letter “h” was put in a list and then those words were formatted into an “H,” and the same occurred for the other respective letters. The way the words themselves are formatted: capitalization, bold, italics, punctuation, etc. is based off of how the word appeared in the instruction manual. So, if the word was bolded and in all capitals then that is how it appeared in the recontextualization. In doing this I tried to emphasize the presence of the model number HNDE03. I was interested in the model number because it was the only thing that was the same in all of the languages that the user manual was written in. I thought that was poetic in the sense that to me and some random person in France (French is one of the languages), even though the word refrigerator may be different for us, the model number would still connect us.
Here are the pictures of what I did! (ps sorry for any bad resolution)
