Ready to speak your learners’ language?
What is eLearning localization? It’s way more than just translation services.
Simply swapping words doesn’t create global engagement. True localization adapts your training content to resonate with diverse cultures, ensuring your message hits home no matter what language learners speak. We make your eLearning connect with any audience, anywhere.

FAQs
We love answering questions about eLearning localization!
Machine translation is a reasonable starting point, and many teams use it. It handles words, not context. Localization adapts the examples, imagery, humor, currency, and assessments so the course works in the target culture the way the original works at home.
On-screen graphics with embedded words, culturally specific scenarios, names and photos of characters, units and formats, voiceover, and sometimes the assessment itself when a scenario doesn’t survive the border.
Recorded native talent, high-quality synthetic voice, or a mix. Synthetic has become genuinely good and cuts cost sharply when scripts change often. We’ll recommend per language based on your audience and update cadence.
Three things: keep text out of images, write source scenarios that don’t depend on one culture’s references, and lock the source course before translation starts. Most localization overruns are source-course changes in disguise.
It depends on word volume, media volume, and how much cultural adaptation the content needs. Send us a course and your target languages and we’ll give you a real number per language rather than a rate-card guess.
No. Some only need translation. Some are fine as they are for a professional audience that works in English. Tell us your audiences and we’ll recommend the lightest approach that works, including none.
