Definition

Translation vs Localization

Translation converts words; localization adapts the entire learning experience. Localization reworks examples, imagery, units, currency, idiom, reading direction and assessment design so content feels created for the learner — not converted for them. Internationalization is the engineering that makes both possible without rebuilding.

Get it right and engagement follows: localized programs have driven 60% higher course completion across APAC. Get it wrong and a literal translation quietly signals "this was not made for you."

Our Work Process

Our Localization Process

1

Internationalization Audit

We check source content for hard-coded text, layout limits and locale readiness.
2

Glossary & Style Guide

Per-language termbases and style guides lock consistency before translation starts.
3

Native-Speaker Translation

In-country linguists translate, supported by translation memory for reuse.
4

Cultural Adaptation

Examples, imagery and references are adapted for the target market.
5

Functional QA

We test layout, media sync and interactivity in every locale build.

Proven Results

A Case Study From This Practice

Localization · Corporate

A corporate training library localized into 9 languages

Challenge. A Europe-HQ multinational needed 60+ hours of eLearning localized into 9 languages including RTL — and rejected machine translation as robotic.

What we did. Cultural adaptation, not translation: native linguists and in-country reviewers, re-recorded voice-overs, and on-screen text rebuilt for expansion and RTL, backed by a central terminology database and translation memory.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between translation and localization?

Translation converts words from one language to another. Localization adapts the whole experience — examples, images, units, currency, reading direction, cultural references and assessment validity — so content feels native, not translated.

How many languages do you support?

40+ languages across Europe, APAC, South Asia, the Middle East, Africa and the Americas, including right-to-left scripts (Arabic, Hebrew, Urdu) and CJK. Native-speaker linguists handle every locale.

How much does eLearning localization cost?

Translation typically runs $0.10–$0.25 per word; full course localization is usually 30–50% of original development cost per language. Translation memory reuse can cut 25–40% on repeat volume.

How long does localization take?

Roughly 2–4 weeks per language for a standard course, run in parallel across locales. Multimedia and voice-over add time depending on scope.

Do you keep assessments valid after translation?

Yes. We adapt items for construct equivalence, not literal wording, so a translated assessment measures the same ability at the same difficulty in every language.

Do you handle voice-over, subtitling and dubbing?

Yes — professional voice-over, subtitling and lip-sync dubbing, with native talent and in-context review so audio and on-screen text stay in sync.

Can you handle text expansion and RTL layouts?

Yes. German can run 30% longer than English and Arabic flows right-to-left; we re-engineer layouts, fonts and UI so nothing breaks or overflows.
