A course is more than its on-screen text
Navigation, instructions, assessment feedback and narration all influence whether someone can complete a course. We start with a content inventory so that small but essential elements are included in the language brief.
Tell us the learning audience, target markets and subject. An internal induction course, a technical training module and a school learning resource need different vocabulary and reading levels.
- Lessons, slides and downloadable learning materials
- Quiz questions, answer choices and feedback
- Voice-over scripts, subtitles and on-screen labels
- Glossaries and consistent instructions across modules
Separate language work from course rebuilding
We can work from editable documents and translation exports. If your project uses Articulate Storyline, Rise, an LMS or another authoring environment, share a sample export first. We confirm file compatibility and whether reintegration and in-course testing are included.
A language-file handover and a fully rebuilt, tested course are different deliverables. Your quotation identifies who imports the translation, who checks the assembled course and who approves the result.
Review in the context learners will see
Context helps resolve short interface labels and ambiguous assessment questions. Provide screenshots, reference recordings or staging access where available. After the text is assembled, a separate linguistic check can catch truncated labels or changes caused by layout.
For audio and video components, agree timing, pronunciation and recording responsibilities before production. Late script changes can create additional recording and synchronization work.
Prepare a useful course brief
For a larger programme, start with one representative module. Agree how queries and reviewer feedback are resolved before rolling the process out to the remaining content.
- Source files or a representative export
- Target languages, learner profiles and subject context
- Existing terminology and reading-level preferences
- Whether audio, subtitles and graphic text are included
- The owner of reintegration, testing and final approval
Before you brief us
A few useful answers.
Can you localize an Articulate Storyline course?
Share the export format and a representative module. We confirm the language workflow and the scope of reintegration or testing before quoting. Tool-specific production support is not assumed to be included.
Can you translate assessments?
Yes. Include the learning context, correct answers and relevant feedback so that meaning and instructional intent can be reviewed together. Subject-matter approval stays with the appropriate expert.
Can a course include translated narration and subtitles?
Yes, we can scope the script and subtitle work alongside translation. Recording, time-coding and final video assembly are specified separately where needed.
