eLearning Translation & Localization Services

eLearning translation converts written or spoken course content into another language. eLearning localization adapts the complete learning experience, which can include text, narration, subtitles, graphics, screenshots, assessments, layouts, timing, interactions, SCORM packaging, and LMS testing.

Stepes supports Articulate Storyline, Rise 360, Adobe Captivate, Lectora, iSpring, Elucidat, Adapt, Camtasia, PowerPoint-based courseware, custom HTML5 environments, and other proprietary authoring systems. We review each course to confirm the most effective workflow.

Yes. Native project files usually provide the best foundation for complete localization because they give direct access to text, layers, triggers, variables, media, assessments, and publishing settings. We can also provide translation-only deliverables when your team manages reintegration.

Sometimes. Feasibility depends on the package structure, course technology, available scripts and media, and expected final deliverables. Native authoring files are preferred, but Stepes can review a published package and explain what level of localization is practical.

Yes. Stepes translates learner-facing questions, answer choices, prompts, feedback, and variables. Functional QA can verify scoring, attempts, branching, triggers, completion behavior, and learner flow after the translated content is reintegrated.

Yes. Our services can include transcription, translation, voiceover, subtitles, closed captions, on-screen text, graphics replacement, timing adjustments, audio mixing, rendering, and reintegration into the course.

Yes. We support professional human voice talent, AI voiceover with expert linguistic and pronunciation review, and blended production models. The best approach depends on the audience, content risk, update frequency, budget, and desired learner experience.

Translated narration may be longer or shorter than the source. Our multimedia engineers adjust slide timing, animations, visual cues, pauses, and media placement so that the translated narration remains coordinated with the course.

Testing can include course launch, navigation, assessments, scoring, completion status, bookmarking, resume behavior, audio and video playback, language display, package loading, browser behavior, and reporting. The exact testing scope is agreed before production begins.

Yes, when LMS access and testing are included in the project scope. We can validate a localized course in the client environment or a compatible testing environment, depending on access, security, and technical requirements.

Stepes adjusts layouts, text boxes, fonts, alignment, spacing, interface direction, and visual elements for each language. For right-to-left languages, we also review mirroring, punctuation, mixed-language content, navigation, and media placement.

Yes. Stepes can include client reviewers for terminology approval, linguistic feedback, subject-matter validation, and final signoff. A defined review process and consolidated feedback help avoid conflicting changes and unnecessary rework.

Pricing depends on the production scope, including translation volume, languages, voiceover minutes, video duration, subtitles, graphics, course engineering, source-file condition, functional testing, and LMS validation. Stepes reviews the materials and provides a quotation based on the required deliverables.

Timelines depend on course length, language count, multimedia, authoring platform, engineering complexity, voiceover model, reviewer participation, and testing. Large programs can be delivered in language waves or course batches to support earlier launches.

Yes. Translation memory identifies approved content that can be reused in later versions. This can improve consistency, reduce repeated translation effort, and shorten turnaround for annual updates, new releases, and regional adaptations.

Provide native authoring files when possible, along with published packages, XLIFF or text exports, scripts, transcripts, audio, video, editable graphics, target languages, LMS information, voiceover preferences, timeline, and expected deliverables.

Deliverables may include published SCORM or HTML5 packages, localized source files, translated scripts, voiceover audio, subtitles, localized videos, updated graphics, translation memory, terminology resources, and QA records. The final package is confirmed at kickoff.

Yes. Stepes supports ongoing eLearning localization using translation memory, terminology management, changed-content workflows, multimedia updates, rolling delivery, version control, and language-specific course maintenance.
