Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What’s the difference between training and eLearning translation?

Training translation typically refers to localizing content used in instructor-led training (ILT), printed manuals, PowerPoint presentations, onboarding kits, and compliance documentation. eLearning translation, on the other hand, involves digital courseware such as SCORM packages, LMS modules, subtitles, and interactive content. Stepes supports both formats with tailored workflows for each use case.

Yes. We work with regulated industries such as life sciences, finance, and manufacturing to translate compliance training materials. Our linguists are experienced in terminology related to GMP, GDPR, OSHA, anti-corruption, and other regulatory frameworks, ensuring accuracy and alignment with local laws.

How do you ensure translation accuracy across highly technical topics?

Stepes uses a combination of subject-matter linguists, terminology management, and multi-step quality assurance to deliver precise translations.
