eLearning translation FAQ
How can companies ensure unwavering translation and localization quality with Smartcat?
The Smartcat translation platform has numerous mechanics in place to help companies ensure quality throughout their eLearning materials. We use AI translation that delivers 82% accuracy from the start, which improves each time content is edited by Smartcat Marketplace linguists or your team. Smartcat’s machine learning translation engine quickly understands your desired style, tone of voice, and terminology.
Smartcat AI uses eight leading machine translation engines, such as DeepL, Amazon Translate, Google Translate, and Yandex.
Can Smartcat keep content consistent across different file formats and third-party platform integrations?
The Smartcat platform is a central system of record that syncs work across integrated platforms and applications. A change in one system triggers updates in all others, meaning quality and consistency are cast-iron guaranteed. Next to machine translation, Smartcat AI draws from translation memories and glossaries in order to be consistent throughout translations.
Can I get automatic AI translations of my eLearning materials verified?
To check and proofread AI translations, Smartcat identifies vetted translators that match your content subject matter expertise needs in our Marketplace. It’s the largest in the world with over 500,000 language professionals at your disposal. We have translators with specializations in every vertical, whether it be marketing, medicine, law, or construction, to name just some.
They work in practically any language pair, so you’ll never be limited.
How can I control eLearning translation quality on the Smartcat platform?
Smartcat has a handy tool called LQA (language quality assessment), found in our CAT (Computer Assisted Translation) tool. This allows the proofreader or your own specialists to check language quality, leave comments, and communicate with translators who can then fine-tune their work to meet your precise needs. In addition, LQA will generate reports on translation quality to keep you in the loop.
What are some eLearning localization benefits?
Not only translating, but actually localizing your eLearning and training materials can yield huge benefits for your Learning & Development goals. That’s because you can adapt your content so that it fits the cultural and societal realities of employees in different countries, not to mention their learning styles and working environments.
You can achieve this by hiring translators from our Smartcat Marketplace that live in the country in question and understand the target audience at hand. This information, as well as their industry or subject matter specialization, is clearly noted in their profile.
What is the localization process for eLearning and workplace training programs?
While each company produces its own eLearning courses and training materials differently, we understand the needs they have across the board. It’s easy once you’ve registered:
Upload the files you work with or set up an integration with the software you presently use.
AI-translate your files in under a minute
Download the files, which come out in the same layout or get your content instantly in your software via the integration without having to copy or paste.
Which file types and third-party tools does Smartcat support?
Our team is constantly adding new solutions and features to Smartcat based on the needs of our clients. In this changing digital world, we need to keep up with new innovations and solutions. For example, we support the latest version of XLIFF files, which is needed for Articulate Rise and other online course authoring platforms.
