Building Your Global Learning Organization with Localized Learning Content

Business leaders know that a central aspect of expanding your organization is growing it on an international scale. In today’s globalized world, that much is obvious. The growth strategy for many companies is focused on expansion into international markets. The continued globalization of commerce, industry, and media can make this an attractive option. However, with an international workforce comes the need for international learning content, which means that linguistic and cultural adaptation must become a key component of your learning strategy in order to ensure your organization is fully equipped to operate on a global scale.

Many global organizations do not sufficiently account for the international usage of learning content while developing it, which means they struggle to adapt it after the fact. Others recognize the importance of creating localized learning content during the development process but are seeking best practices to adjust for linguistic and cultural differences in international markets.

This report addresses key factors that must be considered when translating and localizing learning content, as well as common challenges, pitfalls, and potential solutions.
