Our Elearning Localization Workflow
As a premier localization services provider, Stepes has established robust processes that seamlessly bring together our skilled translators, voice-over artists, multimedia engineers, project managers, and quality assurance experts. This unified approach ensures the delivery of highly accurate and efficient eLearning and training localization results.
- Identify the target audience: Determine the language, culture, and technical requirements of the target audience for the eLearning content.
- Analyze the course content: Review the eLearning course content to determine the components that need to be localized, such as text, audio, video, images, and interactive activities.
- Prepare the translation kit: Ensure the source content that requires localization is organized for efficient processing. This includes separating the text elements that need to be localized from those that don’t, and incorporating any available glossaries.
- Localization of text: Translate the text into the target language, ensuring that it is accurate and culturally appropriate based on industry terminology. Adapt the text to the technical requirements of the target audience, such as adjusting font size and style.
- Localization of audio and video: Record new audio and video content in the target language with time codes or dub over the existing content. Ensure that the quality of the audio and video is high and that it is synchronized with the visuals.
- Localization of images: Replace text on images with translated content while adjusting design elements to ensure optimal presentation. This may involve replacing images with culturally appropriate ones or adjusting colors and styles.
- Localization of interactivities: Adapt the interactive activities to suit the target language audience. This may involve adjusting text or character animation, adjusting on-screen instructions, and modifying the activity workflow to better suit the target audience.
- Quality assurance: Test the localized eLearning courses for linguistic and cosmetic QA to ensure they are error-free, work correctly, and meet local compliance requirements (if any.)
- Integration and deployment: Integrate the localized content with 3rd party LMS systems or other training delivery platforms and test the course thoroughly to ensure that everything works as intended before final deployment to the target audience.
