Pearson is looking for a French-Canadian linguist to help on Versant.

The system itself is intriguing. It's a test of language skills
(including spoken language) available in diverse languages.

They're at the very least dialect-conscious, if not culturally aware.
Haven't looked at the specifics, but it seems like they could need
linguistic anthropologists. Not that dialect-specific consultants
would be likely to have a say in how things are done. But one hopes
they at least thought of hiring culturally-aware people who can give a
broad idea of what language can be.
