What is e-learning localization<\/strong><\/h1>\n

and why is it essential?<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][\/mk_page_section][mk_page_section][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1586428328865{margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 100px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1586426088445{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]Have you ever cooked in an unfamiliar kitchen?<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1586429079894{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]Maybe you’d just moved into an apartment, or you were cooking at a friend’s place. You likely needed more time because the unfamiliar surroundings presented obstacles to you: No, the dishes aren’t here, they’re over there. Wait, which drawer is the cutlery kept in again?<\/p>\n

When you localize your e-learning materials, you’re translating not just the language of the materials but also the culture they’ve been created in. In essence, you’re rearranging the kitchen to match your employees instead of demanding your customer get used to your kitchen. Whether you\u2019re cooking or using software, if it\u2019s familiar to you, you\u2019ll work faster, more efficiently, and with better results.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1586428341103{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”][mk_image src=”https:\/\/www.textform.com\/tf2019\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/spoon_forg2.png” image_size=”full” margin_bottom=”0″][\/vc_column][\/mk_page_section][mk_page_section margin_bottom=”10″ sidebar=”sidebar-1″][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1586427838251{margin-top: -20px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;border-top-width: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}”][mk_button dimension=”flat” size=”xx-large” icon=”mk-icon-angle-down” url=”#benefits” align=”center” margin_top=”-10″ bg_color=”#ef9300″ btn_hover_bg=”#ffffff” btn_hover_txt_color=”#ef9300″]The Benefits for Your Business[\/mk_button][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][\/mk_page_section][mk_page_section margin_bottom=”10″ sidebar=”sidebar-1″][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][mk_image src=”https:\/\/www.textform.com\/tf2019\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/line.png” image_size=”full”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1586429991235{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\n

\u00bb<\/span> An animated speaker may comical to people in some cultures, whereas a less expressive speaker may bore people in other cultures.<\/p>\n

\u00bb<\/span> A woman without her hair covered may come across as conservative or insulting, depending on where the video is shown.<\/p>\n

Although we\u2019ve boiled these problems down to a few sentences, they can have big ramifications for your e-learning material: Your viewers won\u2019t hear your actual message.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][mk_image src=”https:\/\/www.textform.com\/tf2019\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/globe_bachelor.png” image_size=”full”][\/vc_column][\/mk_page_section][mk_page_section margin_bottom=”10″ sidebar=”sidebar-1″][vc_column][mk_button dimension=”flat” size=”xx-large” icon=”mk-icon-angle-down” url=”#content” align=”center” margin_top=”-10″ bg_color=”#ef9300″ btn_hover_bg=”#ffffff” btn_hover_txt_color=”#ef9300″]Read About the Benefits of e-Learning in More Detail[\/mk_button][\/vc_column][\/mk_page_section][mk_page_section margin_bottom=”10″ sidebar=”sidebar-1″][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][mk_image src=”https:\/\/www.textform.com\/tf2019\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/line.png” image_size=”full”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1586432669996{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\n
