Translation and localisation for global education and e-learning programmes
Education providers and L&D teams must deliver learning content clearly across languages and platforms. We help education providers, EdTech companies and corporate L&D teams deliver multilingual learning content across platforms and regions. From course modules and learner interfaces to multimedia and LMS environments, our specialist teams support accurate and scalable localisation.
What we do
We provide turnkey and modular education translation services and e-learning localisation for digital courses, training programmes and learning platforms delivered across languages and regions. This includes course modules, assessments, learner interfaces, instructor materials, compliance training and multilingual education platforms. You can engage us for complete programme localisation or individual components, depending on your internal workflows and rollout plans.
Your projects are managed by dedicated Account Managers who understand course structures, release cycles and learning platform requirements. Our linguists specialise in educational and
instructional content. They understand learning objectives, educational context and assessment frameworks, so translated content reflects the original meaning, cultural nuance and intended learner outcomes.
Where required, we also provide subtitling, transcription, voiceover, accessibility support, terminology management, engineering and DTP. Our AV production hubs and localisation teams prepare multilingual learning content for LMS platforms, structured authoring environments and continuous course delivery.

Why trust us with your education and e-learning localisation?
Specialist L&D localisation teams
A dedicated account manager is your central point of contact for your education and e-learning localisation projects. They understand course structures, learning objectives and delivery formats, and coordinate closely with our linguists and AV production teams. Our linguists specialise in learning and development and instructional content. They understand educational context and subject matter, so your content reflects the original meaning, cultural nuance and intended learner outcomes.
Integrated AV production hubs in Barcelona and London
Our dedicated AV production hubs in Barcelona and London coordinate multilingual voiceover, subtitling, audio synchronisation and video post-production. Alongside professional studio recording, we also offer AI-supported workflows, including high-quality synthetic voiceover, subtitling and transcription.
Consistency across courses and learning programmes
Education content evolves through updates, new modules and revised assessments. Translation memory and terminology management maintain consistent language across courses and releases.
Localisation for learning platforms and structured content
We work with LMS platforms, structured course formats and a variety of authoring tools. Translated content integrates correctly into your learning environment and remains functional across languages.
Human expertise supported by adaptable AI workflows
We support human-led, AI-supported and hybrid workflows. AI can help process suitable content efficiently, but human specialists review output and remain accountable for accuracy. You decide whether AI is included in your workflow.
Accessibility and inclusive learning support
We help education providers deliver accessible multilingual learning. This includes subtitles, transcripts and accessible course content that supports diverse learners and accessibility requirements.

Our education and e-learning localisation process
We follow a structured localisation workflow aligned with instructional design, platform requirements and learner experience, with defined review stages and delivery milestones.
Step 1 Share your learning content
Send your course materials, scripts or platform exports securely. We review structure, learning intent, technical formats and LMS compatibility.
Step 2 Project setup & preparation
We assign subject-expert linguists and configure workflow, terminology and translation memory. Build requirements, voiceover, subtitling and technical needs are confirmed.
Step 3 Translation, production & review
Content is translated using the agreed human, AI-assisted or hybrid approach. Voiceover and subtitles are prepared where required, and an alpha version is delivered for stakeholder review and feedback.
Step 4 Integration, testing & final release
Approved assets are integrated into your LMS and tested for functionality, usability and performance. Beta builds are validated, final files released, and linguistic assets updated for future use.

Education + e-Learning FAQs
How does localisation fit into existing LMS and course delivery workflows?
Localisation is typically integrated into your existing course production and release process. We work with common e-learning formats such as SCORM, xAPI, AICC, XML, HTML5 and content exported from authoring tools like Storyline, Rise, Captivate, Elucidat and Lectora.
Content is prepared, translated and returned in a format ready for import into your LMS or authoring environment. Your team will find it easier to manage multilingual course releases without changing how courses are built or deployed.
