Translation of e-learning materials

With globalization, the demand for translation continues to rise. Many of you may be considering the export of educational and e-learning materials from Japan. For example, it is often heard that a certain level of standardization in education is necessary to enhance the quality of employees in overseas branches.

Human Science has been providing multilingual translation services* and education such as e-learning for over 20 years.

*This is the record as of November 2016. Please consult us for other languages not listed above.

Localization of e-learning materials (local optimization)

To enhance the effectiveness of e-learning materials, not only translation but also modifications tailored to local conditions may be necessary.

In addition to our resources such as educational consultants, designers, and local translators, we sometimes collaborate with local representatives on the client side to achieve localization (local optimization) that takes the following points into account.

Four Essential Perspectives for Localization

Laws and Regulations

… Is it in accordance with local laws and regulations?

Common Sense

… Are you aware of the differences in prerequisite knowledge?

Environment

… Is it compatible with the differences in the environment, such as mobile penetration rate?

Culture

… Are they compatible with differences in national character and learning styles?
