What is eLearning Course Localization?

eLearning Course localization and translation is a service that acknowledges that learners from two different parts of the world are not the same. This awareness is essential for institutions and businesses that cater to or want to start catering to a wider range of locations. 

Translation adapts a course from one language to another. On the other hand, localization retains the original intent and meaning of learning materials while adjusting culture-specific elements to suit different groups of learners. 

Translation and localization let you expand your learner base while keeping your subject matter standardized and uniform. 

Key Considerations for Engaging an eLearning Course Localization Partner

When engaging a translation and localization partner, the vendor’s experience will determine the quality of their solutions, services, and deliverables. It is also important to consider if they have worked on localizing and translating courses to the languages you specifically need.  

It is also necessary to consider how collaborative the eLearning vendor is. Localization and translation often require input from your in-house SMEs. A collaborative vendor will be quick to incorporate feedback, changes, and suggestions and will keep you updated throughout the project. 

Lastly, it is wise to pick a localization partner that can provide post-delivery support if the need ever arises. In other words, a client-centric service provider. This way, businesses can ensure that their eLearning solutions don’t end up becoming unusable when running into a hitch.

Benefits of eLearning Course Localization

Providing learners courses in languages they are comfortable in increases their engagement and how much of the information they can effectively retain. eLearning course localization removes a massive learning barrier by making courses easier to consume and understand. 

eLearning course localization improves learners’ comprehension of the subject matter. This is especially applicable to highly technical courses that include complex processes, jargon, and specialized lingo. 

Localization makes eLearning courses accessible to a wider group of learners. This allows businesses and institutions to provide learning to groups that might previously have missed out due to language barriers. 

Since localization takes learners’ cultural context into account, it makes courses more culturally relevant. This improves learners’ understanding of examples, situations, scenarios, and settings. It also makes learning more meaningful, ensuring knowledge retention and effective application. 

Localization allows businesses to relay consistent and accurate information to learners, creating standardization and uniformity in knowledge and processes. 

Localization is also cheaper and less time-consuming than developing individual courses for each learner group and cultural context from scratch.
