SCORM Translation Services for Seamless Global eLearning Deployment
Stepes provides expert translation and technical engineering for SCORM-compliant content to ensure multilingual LMS compatibility and optimal learner experience worldwide.
What Is SCORM Translation and Why It Matters
SCORM, or Sharable Content Object Reference Model, is a widely adopted set of technical standards for packaging and delivering eLearning content within Learning Management Systems (LMS). SCORM enables interoperability, reusability, and tracking of online training modules by defining how content communicates with LMS platforms.
For organizations delivering multilingual training, SCORM translation goes beyond language conversion. It requires a combination of expert linguistic localization and precise engineering to maintain compliance with SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004 (2nd, 3rd, and 4th editions), and xAPI (also known as Tin Can API) specifications.
Effective SCORM localization ensures that translated content renders correctly, tracks user progress, and functions as intended across all LMS environments. Without proper SCORM engineering, even well-translated content can break navigation, disable quiz scoring, or fail to record completion status. Stepes combines professional native linguists with experienced SCORM engineers to deliver fully localized packages that are technically sound and ready to launch.
Our SCORM Translation Capabilities
Stepes provides end-to-end SCORM translation and localization services to ensure your eLearning courses function seamlessly across all supported Learning Management Systems. We specialize in translating and engineering SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004 (all editions), and xAPI-compliant packages for accurate multilingual deployment and LMS interoperability.
Our linguists and localization engineers work together to translate content embedded across various file types within SCORM packages, including:
- HTML and HTML5 learning modules
- JavaScript-based quizzes, navigation, and learner interactions
- XML and JSON configuration files
- Metadata and manifest files such as
imsmanifest.xml
Our SCORM engineering team ensures that your localized packages retain full technical integrity by:
- Preserving the original course structure, flow, and module hierarchy
- Updating navigation and sequencing logic to match translated content
- Validating SCORM run-time communication with the LMS, including bookmarking, scoring, and completion tracking
With Stepes, your multilingual SCORM content is not only linguistically accurate but also functionally robust and compliant with modern LMS requirements.
SCORM Engineering Services
SCORM translation requires more than just accurate linguistic work. It also demands specialized engineering to maintain functional integrity across Learning Management Systems. Stepes provides advanced SCORM engineering services to support multilingual deployment and ensure smooth learner experiences.
Our engineers extract translatable text from SCORM packages using structured localization workflows, preserving file integrity. After translation, content is reintegrated into the original framework with precise alignment to source logic.
We localize and update imsmanifest.xml files, metadata, and embedded JavaScript to reflect language-specific titles, instructions, and interaction behavior. This ensures accurate rendering and compliance with SCORM runtime specifications.
Stepes tests all multilingual SCORM packages in real LMS environments such as Moodle, Canvas, Cornerstone, SAP SuccessFactors, Blackboard, and others. We verify that tracking, navigation, and completion data are correctly reported.
Our team diagnoses and resolves common SCORM issues such as missing variables, broken links, LMS reporting failures, and non-functional quiz logic. We ensure that all localized modules meet both technical and pedagogical objectives.
With deep experience in SCORM engineering, Stepes ensures your translated eLearning modules are fully operational and ready for global distribution across any LMS platform.
End-to-End Localization Process for SCORM Files
Stepes follows a structured and proven SCORM localization workflow to deliver high-quality, multilingual eLearning content that performs reliably in any LMS environment. Our process combines linguistic accuracy with technical precision to ensure your SCORM-compliant packages are fully functional and deployment-ready.
We begin by reviewing the SCORM package to identify translatable assets, assess file formats (HTML, XML, JSON, JavaScript), and define the scope of engineering and language requirements.
All translatable content is extracted from source files using industry-standard localization tools. Content is segmented and prepared to maintain linguistic context and technical alignment.
Native linguists translate the content with attention to tone, clarity, and learning objectives. Where possible, in-context previews are used to validate text placement and user flow.
Translated content is reintegrated into the SCORM package. Our engineers update configuration files and interaction logic to ensure consistent behavior across all language versions.
Comprehensive quality assurance checks verify that all assets display correctly, quizzes function, and tracking features such as progress, completion, and scoring operate as expected in your LMS.
Finalized SCORM files are packaged and delivered in ready-to-upload format, optimized for deployment across platforms like Moodle, SuccessFactors, Cornerstone, Workday, and others.
This end-to-end process ensures your translated SCORM modules deliver the same instructional impact and performance as the original, supporting scalable global eLearning delivery.
