Terralíngua localizes eLearning and training materials for organizations delivering learning across languages and markets. Our services cover course text, presentations, assessments, video scripts, subtitles, and narration, with production support for interactive content. We help your team define the language and adaptation work needed for the way the training will be delivered.
A translated course should give learners the information they need to complete the same task or understand the same concept as the source audience. That calls for attention to more than slide text. Instructions, examples, answer choices, feedback, and supporting resources all contribute to the learning experience and need to be considered together.
Training Materials We Localize
- Self-paced courses: Onboarding, product knowledge, process training, and other digital learning materials. Include menus, instructions, interactive activities, feedback, and assessments when defining what needs translation.
- Instructor-led training: Slide decks, facilitator notes, participant workbooks, exercises, and handouts. Consistent terminology helps instructors and participants refer to the same concepts and activities.
- Video and narrated learning: Demonstrations, recorded presentations, and instructional videos. A project can include technical script translation, subtitle adaptation, narration, and localization of visible text.
- Performance support: Quick-reference guides, job aids, and downloadable resources used during or after training. These should use the same approved terms as the course, product, or process they support.
Keep the Learning Objective Clear
Learners may share a job role but differ in their familiarity with an example, business practice, or expression. A scenario that is clear in one market can need clarification in another. Your brief should explain the audience, prior knowledge, and learning objective so proposed adaptations can be reviewed against the purpose of the training.
For example, a customer-service course may use a locally familiar expression in a dialogue. A literal translation might obscure the behavior the exercise is intended to teach. The wording can be adapted while preserving the scenario’s point, with changes to company policy or expected behavior referred to your training team for approval.
Preserve the Meaning of Activities and Assessments
Question wording, answer choices, and feedback need to work as a set. Translation should not make a wrong answer correct, introduce ambiguity, or reveal the answer through inconsistent terminology. References such as select two options or complete the steps in order must also match the activity.
Terralíngua’s language work draws on client terminology and reference materials. Your learning or subject specialists should resolve questions about the intended answer and approve substantive changes to an exercise. Where a course includes branching scenarios, provide access to each path so text that appears only after a particular response is included in the scope.
Choose the Right Scope for Your Course Files
Our capabilities include work in Articulate Storyline and Adobe Captivate. Editable project files allow translated content to be placed back into the course and checked in context. Provide the authoring-tool version, linked assets, and a published reference, along with any scripts, subtitle files, and downloadable documents.
You may need translated text for your own production team, or a broader assignment that includes adapting the course and preparing agreed outputs. We assess the available files and delivery requirements with you. If only a published package or finished video is available, reconstruction or other limitations need to be considered before the scope is confirmed.
Reach More Learners with Subtitles and Narration
Translated subtitles and narration give organizations options for delivering the same training in additional languages. Synthetic voice narration can reduce recording costs and make it practical to reach a broader audience. A short sample helps assess voice suitability, pronunciation of product names, and the tone expected by your learners.
Our native-speaking linguists review generated narration for pronunciation and phrasing. Production work also needs to align the audio and subtitles with the relevant visuals. Approving the script before final audio production helps limit revisions that could affect timing, animation, and on-screen text.
Agree on What a Finished Course Must Do
Language review and functional testing answer different questions. The translated content needs to communicate correctly, while the delivered course needs to behave as intended. Agree on the checks and responsibilities that apply before production begins:
- Language and presentation: Review terminology, instructions, feedback, character display, and text fit. Check all learner-facing paths, including pop-ups and messages that are not visible on the main slides.
- Navigation and assessment behavior: Confirm that buttons, links, branching, answer handling, and feedback still perform their intended functions. Your team approves the learning content and expected outcomes.
- Platform delivery: Identify the required publishing format and learning management system, or LMS. Assign responsibility for testing the delivered package in that environment, including completion and scoring behavior where applicable.
- Accessibility requirements: Specify needs such as captions, transcripts, reading order, and keyboard access. Agree on the production and validation scope; translation of visible text alone does not establish accessibility.
Plan Your Multilingual Training Project
Send your editable source files and a published reference, target languages and regional variants, learner profiles, and preferred deadline. Include terminology, pronunciation guidance, required output formats, and the client review stages. Identify who will approve subject-specific or safety-sensitive wording and who will test the final delivery.
For an existing course library, identify shared modules and the source revision for each assignment. Approved translations can support consistency, but changed questions, policies, and product screens still need review. Tell us about planned updates so the assessment can account for work that may affect several language versions.
