How can e-learning localization make a difference in global access to online education? Localazy introduces new features

It’s often said that the true test of knowledge is being able to explain a concept clearly to someone else. To do this effectively, a deep understanding of the subject is crucial and learning is most effective when delivered in a person's native language. However, according to UNESCO, 40% of the world’s population lacks access to education in a language they understand. To address this challenge, the Czech startup Localazy has introduced new e-learning tools, including support for widely-used formats like Adobe Captivate, that allow non-technical users to easily adapt content for different languages while also considering social and cultural contexts.

Localazy specializes in content localization, blending AI technology with professional translators to go beyond simple translation. It adapts content to fit the socio-cultural context of specific countries or regions, ensuring it resonates with local audiences. Unlike automated translation tools, which often struggle with complex vocabulary and can produce inaccurate results, Localazy’s approach eliminates errors by focusing on cultural relevance. This ensures that the content isn’t just accurately translated but also fully understood and engaging for the target audience.

It’s worth mentioning that approximately 5 billion people have broad access to the Internet. Meanwhile, English is the native language for only 400-500 million. Research has also shown that even consumers who are fluent in more than one language explicitly indicate that using their native language influences their perceptions of service providers. EdTech 4 Beginners data further highlights that localizing e-learning content for employees can increase productivity by up to 50%, as learning is absorbed and retained more quickly without the barrier of language comprehension. Additionally, companies that offer e-learning in multiple languages can save between 50% and 70% overall.

Easily localize even complex texts

Localazy’s new features simplify the localization process, even for non-technical users. The platform has just introduced support for three popular formats used for e-learning courses globally: Adobe Captivate, iSpring 360, and Articulate Rise. In addition, its Glossary ensures specialized terms are accurately translated, while AI and professional translators collaborate to ensure high-quality results, even for complex content. The Duplicity Resolving tool and translation memory reduce redundant work, saving time by storing translations for reuse. Teams can also collaborate seamlessly, as the platform offers unlimited seat pricing and granular permissions.

“The process is straightforward and user-friendly, just like the content it generates. Simply upload your text file and request a translation. In no time, you can download a fully localized file that needs no further revisions. The clear and intuitive interface makes the entire tool easy to navigate. The Tag Collapsing feature simplifies markup tags, ensuring a smoother translation experience,” explains Václav Hodek, CEO of Localazy.

If you create educational content or run courses and want to reach international students, you're likely facing the challenge of making learning more accessible for them. Mastering the linguistic, cultural, and social nuances of every country is nearly impossible — but you don’t have to. Localazy’s e-learning integrations enable you to tailor your content to specific audiences, ensuring it resonates with them. By offering localized material, you will enhance their understanding and make learning more effective, increasing their chance of success.
