Efficient e-learning translation for global training

Translation for L&D involves rendering corporate training materials into additional languages so that employees across different regions receive consistent, accessible learning content.

Simply upload your training files, select your source and target languages, and let Smartcat’s AI do the translation in seconds—ready for review by expert reviewers.

In 2026, 92% of words translated by Smartcat AI for paying customers were accepted without a single human edit. Quality keeps improving as Smartcat learns your glossaries, style, and every confirmed edit.

For regulated or high-stakes training, add a professional reviewer from the Smartcat Marketplace.

Yes, every confirmed edit updates your glossaries and translation memories, ensuring your future projects benefit from a continuously improving knowledge base.

You can upload your own glossary or let Smartcat generate one automatically. You can also select which glossary to use or edit it manually to ensure correct terminology.

Smartcat supports 80+ file formats, including SCORM packages, XLIFF, XML, DOC, PDF, INDD, XLS, AVI, MP4, and SRT.

Yes. Upload a SCORM 1.2 or 2004 package and Smartcat translates the course text, video, and documents inside it, then returns a package ready to upload to your LMS. Learn more about SCORM translation.

Most course authoring tools export course text as an XLIFF file. Smartcat translates the file and returns it in the same format, so you never rebuild slides by hand.

• Rise: open the course, go to Settings → Translations, and export the XLIFF file. Duplicate the course and import the translated file into the copy.

• Storyline: go to File → Translation → Export, then use File → Translation → Import to bring the translation back.

In between, upload the file to Smartcat, run AI translation into your target languages, and review it with your team or a Marketplace reviewer.

Yes. Because Smartcat works on the exported course file rather than copied text, your structure, layout, and interactive elements stay intact. You re-import the translated file into your authoring tool or export the course in the same format.

Yes. Smartcat keeps every language version of a course in one workspace, so you can update, track, and re-translate changed content and keep global training in sync.

Yes. Upload your file to the XLIFF translation editor, edit the translated text with your reviewers in real time, and export the updated file.

• Lock terminology first: upload a glossary or let Smartcat build one.

• Export from the final source version of the course.

• Translate course text, video, and documents together so every language ships at once.

• Have subject-matter experts review in the same workspace.

• When the course changes, re-translate only the changed content; translation memory handles the rest.

• For regulated topics such as healthcare or finance, add a professional reviewer from the Smartcat Marketplace.

Yes, Smartcat translates video files and automatically adds AI-generated subtitles. It supports formats such as AVI, MP4, MPEG, MOV, and various audio and subtitle formats.

Smartcat prices translation in Smartwords: one Smartword per source word for each target language. Repeated content already in your translation memory is free on all current plans, so updating an existing course costs much less than translating it the first time.
