What is E-Learning Localization?
E-Learning Localization is the process of
optimizing a training program according to the
local requirements and cultural sensitivities of
a particular region. Do not confuse it with
translation. eLearning Localization goes a step
beyond as it not only converts training material
from one language to another but also factors in
cultural references and adapts the contents of
the training program accordingly. The basic
idea behind eLearning Localization is to ensure
that the exact message intended by the source
content is being conveyed in the right context
and with the correct emotions. Some of the key
aspects of a training program for which eLearning
Localization is applicable are images, idioms,
colours, fonts, symbols, phrases, measurement
units, narration tone, and abbreviations.

• Consistency in training With eLearning

  the training of employees located in different
  geographic locations. As the content is optimized
  according to local requirements, it ensures that
  the learners are being empowered with the same

  available in the native language of the learner
  and is prepared in a culturally appropriate

Why is eLearning localization so important?

• Localization considers cultural disparities that
  might offend. For example, a picture of a thumbs
  up might be considered a sign of encouragement to
  an American reader, but in the Middle East its a
  very rude gesture. The best way to avoid
  offending is to learn as much as you can about a
  countrys etiquette, styles of communications and
  values, which can be added into your eLearning.
  Or you can work with native localization
  professionals that are experts in their countrys
  culture. Localization is sensitive to cultural
  nuance and adapts the course to align with the
  culture of the intended audience.
