So, to go with effective eLearning localization, eLearning developers must choose an efficient and rapid authoring tool. Started as a simple screen recording utility around two decades ago, Adobe Captivate has emerged as a strong authoring tool, imbibing all the required features to develop effective and rapid eLearning content.
Let’s have a look at some important benefits of using Adobe Captivate 2019 for eLearning localization:
Translations an easy process:
- Adobe Captivate 2019 is designed to enable the rapid and accurate translation of the source
- With the in-built options such as localized user interface and translated text captions, Adobe Captivate is best suited to translate your course into multiple languages simultaneously.
- If eLearning localization contains text captions and closed captions, you can export the captions for translation. The exported word document contains all the content details with an additional column, “Updated Text Caption Data” where the changed caption text can be placed.
- A copy of this Word document can be given to the language service provider (LSP). Once translated and localized, the updated Word file can be efficiently imported into the source file. The content will automatically be replaced with the new language.
- Just exporting the original course content and then importing the translated text document is all that is needed to localize your eLearning courses.

The concept of eLearning localization has emerged to address the learning needs of the targeted users with a view to adapt the content to a specific cultural location. Not all the time, localization is limited to mere translation. eLearning localization services may go beyond translation to include different aspects such as course colors, fonts, graphics, audio, video, usage of idiomatic language, learning approaches, cultural references, and region-specific nuances.
