TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I'm editing an instructor-led training course that may be translated (at least into Korean, possibly other languages). I've not written for localization before, although I know some of the general principles.
In the training guide, should I address the students as "you" directly, or in third person as "the student"?

Regards,
Becca
