BackgrounThe Client's Challenge:
Our client, a leading global science-based company, needed to provide standardized Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS) training to its diverse, worldwide workforce. The company’s EHS Learning Division had developed a comprehensive training program that included interactive Storyline modules, workbooks, facilitator guides, and badge cards. However, the client faced a significant challenge: how to translate and localize these complex training materials into 14 languages while maintaining accuracy and meeting strict deadlines.
Key Challenges
- The technical complexity of translating and localizing interactive Storyline modules with layered animations.
- The need to deliver both individual language files for specific regions and a consolidated 14-language module for broader distribution.
- The diversity of materials that required translation included a 17-page Training Workbook, a Facilitation Guide, and badge card files.
- The need for a comprehensive multi-language Excel file to manage and track all translations.
- Tight timelines, with each module requiring a 4-5 week turnaround.
Our Solution
We provided the client with a full suite of translation and localization services to address these challenges. Our team:
