eLearning localization for multilingual rollouts
Develop your course once, then take it global in every language your learners need. Through Localize, we handle translation, native voice-over, Arabic right-to-left builds, on-screen text, and QA in-house – all backed by ISO certification.
For organizations training people in more than one language
A course that works in English does not automatically work in Arabic, German, or Japanese. Text expands, layouts flip, voices need re-recording, and interactions need re-testing. Localization takes care of all of it.
Rolling out compliance and product training across regions.
That need Arabic and English versions for national programs.
Harmonizing onboarding and compliance after expansion or a merger.
Expanding customer education into new markets.
That need a localization partner to support their clients.
Everything a course needs to work in another language
- Translation by professional linguists, following ISO 17100:2015 processes
- Machine translation with post-editing where suitable, following ISO 18587:2017 processes
- Voice-over from 100+ native voice artists, or AI voice with human review for pronunciation
- Right-to-left builds for Arabic, including mirrored layouts, navigation, and interactions
- On-screen text, captions, graphics with embedded text, and assessment items
- Linguistic and functional QA – checking the translated course in context
- LMS-ready SCORM packages for each language version
Localization planned from the storyboard
Localization runs most smoothly when it is planned from the start. When we develop your course, we design with text expansion, RTL layouts, and voice-over in mind.

One partner for development and localization
When development and translation sit with different vendors, every change passes through two teams. Keeping both under one roof means fewer handoffs – and one project manager who owns the entire rollout.
The wider Localize client base includes global pharmaceutical, payments, commodities, and automotive organizations.
Many eLearning companies outsource translation. We develop and localize in-house within Localize a2z.
Localize a2z is certified to ISO 17100:2015 for translation services and ISO 18587:2017 for post-editing of machine translation, alongside ISO 9001:2015.
ISO 13485:2016 certification and a medical-focused portfolio support pharma and med-device rollouts.
A UAE entity – plus right-to-left builds as standard for Arabic.
AI voice can suit some projects. A human always reviews it for pronunciation, and we will let you know when a native voice artist is the better choice.
Through Localize, we draw on 25 full-time employees and a wider network of linguists and voice artists.

eLearning localization FAQs
What is eLearning localization?
It is the process of adapting a course for another language and culture. It goes beyond the words – covering translation, voice-over, on-screen text, graphics, layout, and testing.
Can you build Arabic eLearning with right-to-left layouts?
Yes. We build Arabic versions with mirrored layouts, navigation, and interactions, and test them in context before delivery.
Do you use AI voice for voice-over?
We offer both. Through Localize, we work with 100+ native voice artists, and we also use AI voice where it suits the project. AI voice is always reviewed by a human for pronunciation, and we will advise you when a native voice artist is the better choice.
Which quality standards apply to translation?
Localize a2z is certified to ISO 17100:2015 for translation services, ISO 18587:2017 for post-editing of machine translation, and ISO 9001:2015 for quality management.
