ELEARNING LOCALIZATION & TRANSLATION-

GLOBAL TRAINING, BUILT TO FEEL LOCAL

At Constellar, we go beyond translation – we adapt the full learning experience so every version of your
course feels built for that audience, not just converted for them. Language, culture, visuals, tone.
AI-assisted for speed. Senior linguists and subject matter reviewers for accuracy and quality.

 

We Localize. We Don’t Just Translate.

eLearning Translation vs Localization - Which one does your training need?

They sound similar. They produce very different results. Here’s the honest difference:

Localization (Recommended)

Localization (Recommended)

The full experience adapted - language, cultural references, visuals, voiceover, formats, and layout. AI-assisted for production speed; senior linguists and subject matter reviewers govern quality. Training that feels native, not imported.
Translation

Translation

Words converted. Context left behind. Technically accurate - but your learners can still tell it wasn't built for them.

Translation preserves the words. Localization preserves the learning.
Our senior team will tell you what your content needs – no obligation.

Training content formats we localize

We localize every type of training content – from a single eLearning module to an entire global learning programme – to a consistent quality standard across all languages. AI-assisted, where it adds speed; senior-governed, where quality is non-negotiable.

eLearning /
SCORM Courses

Full localization of Articulate Storyline, Rise, Adobe Captivate, and Lectora courses - text, on-screen labels, voiceover, subtitles, and assessments. Delivered in SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004, xAPI, or HTML5.

ILT Facilitator &
Participant Materials

Translation and localization of facilitator guides, participant workbooks, and slide decks - in editable source formats. Senior linguists with sector knowledge review all materials for terminological accuracy.

Video-Based
Learning

Subtitling (SRT/VTT), closed captions, voiceover re-recording, and lip-sync dubbing. AI-assisted drafting of subtitles and scripts; senior review before recording or publishing.

Microlearning
& Mobile Content

Localization of short-form modules, push notifications, and performance support tools - with the same senior-governed quality standard as full programmes.

30+ Languages supported - Global eLearning localization coverage

We cover the languages your learners actually speak – not just the ones that are easy to do. AI-assisted tools expand
our capacity; senior linguists ensure every output meets the quality standard your learners deserve.

Americas

Spanish (Latin American), Portuguese (Brazilian), French (Canadian)

European

French, German, Spanish (European), Italian, Portuguese (European), Dutch, Polish, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Finnish, Greek, Czech, Romanian

Right-To-Left Languages
(Arabic, Hebrew)

We have specific RTL localization experience - including layout restructuring, navigation reversal, and full visual adaptation. Not just text direction.

Middle Eastern
& African

Arabic (MSA + regional variants), Hebrew, Turkish, Swahili, Afrikaans

Asian & Pacific

Mandarin Chinese (Simplified & Traditional), Japanese, Korean, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Bahasa Indonesia, Bahasa Malay, Thai, Vietnamese, Tagalog

Don’t see your language? We work with a specialist linguist network and can accommodate most language pairs on request.

What we adapt when we localize your eLearning

Localization is not a find-and-replace exercise. It’s a multi-layer adaptation process – and each layer requires specific expertise to get right.

Text & On-Screen Copy

All text translated by professional linguists with eLearning experience - including interface labels, instructions, and assessment questions. AI-assisted initial translation; senior linguist review and refinement.

Voiceover & Audio

Original English voiceover re-recorded in the target language using professional voice artists matched to your brand's tone and register. Or subtitling/closed captions added as an alternative.

Cultural References & Examples

Scenarios, case studies, and examples adapted to be relevant - not just translated.

Images & Characters

Photos, illustrations, and on-screen characters were reviewed and replaced where culturally inappropriate or irrelevant to the target region.

Date, Time, Currency & Measurement

All data formats adapted to local conventions. AI-assisted; senior-checked for consistency across the course.

Text Expansion & Layout

Many languages produce 20-40% more text than English. We account for expansion in every layout - no truncated buttons, no overflowing text boxes, no broken on-screen design.

Translation tools, technology & file format support

We work in the tools enterprise buyers expect – and we are transparent about where AI accelerates our work and where senior linguist judgment remains essential.

Tools and Technology

CAT Tools & AI-Assisted Translation

SDL Trados Studio, memoQ, Phrase (Memsource) - for translation memory management and consistency. AI-assisted translation drafts are used to accelerate first-pass conversion; all outputs are reviewed by professional linguists before entering the course file.

eLearning Source Files

Articulate Storyline (.story), Articulate Rise, Adobe Captivate (.cptx), Lectora. All exported to XLIFF for AI-assisted translation and re-imported post-review.

Output Formats

SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004, xAPI, HTML5 - all tested for LMS compatibility. Subtitle files in SRT and VTT formats for video content.

Translation Memory:
We build and maintain a TM for every client – ensuring consistency across all future projects and reducing costs
when content is updated or reused. Clients own their TM.

Frequently Asked Questions

Translation converts the text of a course from one language to another. Localization is a more complete process - it adapts the entire learning experience for a new cultural context, including text, voiceover, cultural references, images, date and currency formats, and on-screen layout. For most enterprise training content, localization produces a significantly better learner experience than translation alone.
A single 30-45 minute SCORM module into one language typically takes 5-7 weeks, including translation, rebuild, voiceover, and QA. Multi-language or multi-module programmes take 8-14 weeks depending on scope. We can discuss accelerated timelines for urgent requirements.
Yes. We work with all major eLearning authoring tool source files - including Articulate Storyline (.story), Articulate Rise, Adobe Captivate (.cptx), and Lectora. We extract text to XLIFF for translation, then re-import into the source file and rebuild for each target language.
Yes. We source and record professional voice artists in the target language, matched to the tone, register, and formality of the original English voiceover. We also offer subtitling (SRT/VTT) and closed captions as an alternative to voiceover re-recording.
RTL localization requires structural changes beyond text direction - including reversing on-screen layouts, repositioning navigation elements, and adapting all visual design to read correctly from right to left. We have specific RTL experience and use RTL-capable authoring workflows to ensure a fully native learner experience.
Yes. We build and maintain a Translation Memory for every client - ensuring consistency across all future projects and reducing costs when content is updated or reused. Clients retain full ownership of their translation memory.
