Most eLearning courses don’t fail because of language. They fail because of strategy.
If you’re designing content for global audiences, or you’ve had a multilingual project go sideways, come along to this webinar.
Scaling training across languages sounds straightforward enough. You get it translated, you ship it, job done. Except it’s rarely that simple. Terminology gets lost. Layouts break. Videos don’t sync. Reviewers go quiet. And suddenly a project that looked perfectly manageable is eating into your budget and your timeline.
Most of these problems are avoidable. They just need to be designed out from the start, not bolted on at the end.
In this session, Leigh Lovering from Accentua Group walks through the 10 most common localisation pitfalls in eLearning, why they happen, and what to do instead.
What you’ll take away
You’ll come away with a clearer picture of where localisation projects typically go wrong, from treating translation as a last-minute task to underestimating the knock-on effect on multimedia, QA, and design.
You’ll find out what “localisation-friendly” design actually looks like in practice, and what to put in place (glossaries, workflows, stakeholder alignment) to protect your learning outcomes across every language version.
Who should attend this session?
This session is particularly relevant for eLearning designers, L&D professionals, and learning designers working on global content, managing multilingual projects, or who’ve been caught out by localisation challenges before and want to do it better next time.
