Localization

Adapt your training to global languages and cultural nuances to reach a wider audience – on a turnkey basis.

The impact and effectiveness of learning are created when it is meaningful to learners. In other words, when training is
learner-centric, it resonates well with the audience and enriches the retention of knowledge. Localization not only encompasses the target audience’s native language but also cultural differences relating to imagery such as symbols, attire, gestures, values, and beliefs. It is more than simply translating content from one language to another.

Why Localize?

Harvard Business Review states that organizations that invest in language operations have a competitive advantage. We can’t agree more. Localization gives businesses a competitive advantage, helping them propel themselves as truly global organizations that value their learners. It improves training consistency for internationally dispersed learners.

EI's Expertise and Localization Approach

Our step-by-step approach towards Localization ensures that learner needs are met, and training objectives are achieved.

A Concrete Pre-plan
We share insights on how to lay down a concrete pre-plan for your Localization requirements (as against taking it up after you’ve developed your course).

Evaluate Key Aspects During Various Stages
We also support you in identifying the key aspects during various stages, from estimation, pre-planning, and development of the master course to translation, audio recording, integration, and development of Localized courses that will help you localize successfully and avoid pitfalls.

Translations and Audio Approvals
We share test samples of translations and audio approvals, so you can finalize the translators and the voice-over artists.

Linguistic Reviews
We help conduct linguistic reviews of online courses by local reviewers who are proficient in the language selected for translation.

Regionalization of Virtual Training Assets
