Translations for e-learning
Make your training courses effective on an international scale – in your learners’ languages.
Whether it’s onboarding, compliance, product training or customer education: it is crucial that training programmes work straight away in every target market. oneword localises your e-learning content to ensure the terminology, tone and examples are appropriate, and that voice-over scripts, subtitles and interface texts are effective within the course.
Scaling your learning content – without compromising on quality
As soon as multiple languages are involved, it is crucial that terminology, tone and media elements remain consistent across all versions. Otherwise, this leads to a cycle of revisions, resulting in additional work and costs. We make sure your content is clear, natural and tailored to the medium in every target market, so you have less rework to do and can roll it out with confidence.

Localising e-learning involves more than just translating the text
- Pedagogically clear: using plain language, consistent terminology and tailored to the target audience.
- Media-appropriate: timing, duration and tone for audio/video content, as well as subtitles and on-screen text.
- In line with the brand guidelines: consistency in tone, corporate language and style across all modules.
We translate and localise web-based training courses, learning platform content, short learning modules, interactive modules, explanatory videos, subtitles and course support documents. In doing so, we ensure that text length, timing and terminology are appropriate for the respective format.
MTPE for e-learning – when it suits your content
For large-scale content, MTPE can help you publish more quickly and allocate budgets effectively. We will carry out a feasibility analysis to determine whether this is appropriate for your training programmes, and we will work with you to define the appropriate quality standard.
What matters most in e-learning translations?
E-learning is often both visual and auditory. This is precisely why nonconformities often arise not from individual words, but from how they interact: voice-over scripts no longer match the animation, UI text runs off the screen, and examples seem inappropriate for the target market. We localise course content so the interface and media all align, helping you to avoid unnecessary rounds of corrections.

FAQs
What distinguishes e-learning translation from other types of translation?
E-learning must work through the interplay of text, UI, audio/video and teaching methods. That is why we localise content to suit the medium – not just to ensure linguistic accuracy.
Which file formats and tools do you support?
We localise e-learning content across the most common set-ups involving authoring tools, learning platforms and media production. The file format is crucial when exporting or importing your content – we’ll clarify this at the outset and set up the workflow accordingly.
Is AI translation useful for e-learning?
MTPE can be useful for large amounts of content, provided the content type and target quality are a good match. We assess suitability through a feasibility analysis and have the machine translation output professionally post-edited by professional translators.
What’s the quickest way to get started?
Simply send us a sample module, along with the target languages and your timetable. You will then receive a clear recommendation regarding the workflow, the time and cost involved and the next steps.
How confidentially is our training content treated?
Much e-learning content contains in-house expertise. That is why we handle your data confidentially and use secure processes for its exchange, processing and storage. A confidentiality agreement can also be drawn up on request.
