eLearning Localization Services
Streamline your international employee training & boost productivity with LingPerfect’s eLearning localization expertise.
eLearning localization: the future of employee training
Improving sales results, customer satisfaction, and employee productivity is any multinational company’s ultimate goal. And it all starts with one task: getting the information across to your employees. A seemingly simple job, right?
But for information to be efficient, it has to speak to the audience. Your training materials must be culturally appropriate and contain examples and practice material your overseas employees can relate to.
Just any translation provider isn’t enough. You need a reliable localization partner who understands your business and has the expertise & technology to adapt your LMS, T&D, and eLearning modules – seamlessly and accurately.

Why eLearning localization and not simply translation?
The best educational content is one that your trainees can relate to. Translating learning material means you take care of transferring meaning from a language to another.
But is that enough?
Consider this: French is spoken in France but also in Senegal.
Could the audience from the two countries relate to the same cultural references used in your LMS module? Probably not.
Localizing your eLearning content means making it culturally appropriate and easily understood. By extension, it makes your training efforts more effective.
eLearning localization: best practices
- 1. Clearly identify your target audience
By that, we don’t just mean the language they speak.
Which culture to they belong to?
What is the average age?
Are they digital-savvy/use smartphones?
What cultural references do they relate to?
- 2. Compile your eLearning glossary early on
We always pair you with expert translators with industry-specific knowledge. But your company might have specific terms or you’d want them translated in non-standard translation equivalents. You might even choose not to translate certain words because your target language trainees are used to referring to them in English.
Here is where Glossaries come in handy. Pair your HR or training expert to review the first batch of translation and compile a comprehensive glossary with your localization provider. Doing so will keep away bottlenecks and endless revisions in the future.
- 3. Avoid putting text inside images or animations
Agreed, they look very nice. But images with embedded text will give you and your eLearning localization company a series of headaches.
To translate the text, your localization partner will have to manipulate images to extract the text. That’s extra hours, ergo extra costs. In addition, the target locale might be wordier or read from right to left, making it difficult to embed it into the localized version. So to make the localization process smooth and fast, keep the text separated from visuals.
