More and more businesses and educational institutions are recognizing the value of learning outside the typical classroom using technology. They also realize that localizing eLearning materials can help them reach more people in more languages and locales. Yet, the localization of eLearning materials is more than just simply translating the content; it involves various multimedia localization elements, such as localizing the UI, animation and on-screen text localization and audio-video post-production. Localizing your elearning course requires that all elements are localized according to its target markets' needs to ensure cultural sensitivity and better understanding of the materials.

Delivery
●     When the project is completed, all localized assets and translation memories (TMs) are
      delivered to the client.

●    Formatting/layout adjustment after translation: We make sure the translated content
      accurately reflects the original. We also enhance these materials so that they conform
      to the linguistic and typographic standards of each target country.
●    File conversion: Migration of authoring to structured XML-centric processes based on
      standards such as DITA.
●    Image adaptation/editing: Editing or creating images with text embedded as needed or
      recapturing screenshots from the localized graphical user interfaces.
●    Extraction of content for translation: Extraction can be done from either editable or
      non-editable files.
●    Creation of templates and document designs for generating online or printed PDF outputs.
