ALM is an e-learning translation company helping organisations adapt online training, onboarding programmes, product training and compliance materials for multilingual audiences. From LMS platforms and SCORM packages to subtitles, voiceovers, interactive modules and training documents, we help you deliver consistent learning experiences in every language. Our technology-driven localisation workflows help keep new content consistent with existing courses, reducing duplication as your training programme evolves.
As global teams, remote working and international operations continue to grow, training content needs to work across cultures, languages and platforms. A direct translation is rarely enough. Training materials must be accurate, engaging, technically functional and appropriate for the people using them.
E-learning Localisation for Global Workforces
E-learning content is different from standard documentation. It often combines written content, audio, video, graphics, quizzes, navigation, animations and interactive elements. Each part needs to be considered during localisation to make sure the final course works properly for learners in every target market.
ALM works with specialist linguists, ISO-accredited workflows, technical localisation teams and multimedia specialists to ensure your training content is translated, adapted, tested and delivered in the right format.
We support organisations with multilingual training for employees, partners, distributors, customers and international teams.
Training Content We Localise
We localise a wide range of learning and development content, including induction training, compliance training, health and safety training, process training, product training, sales training, software training, customer education and technical learning materials.
Our training document translation covers everything from course scripts and slide decks to assessments and reference guides, so every supporting document matches the tone and terminology of the course itself. Whether your content is designed for internal teams, external partners or global customers, we handle the translation of training materials alongside the platform content, so nothing falls out of step as your course library grows.
Compliance Training Translation
Compliance training carries its own risks in translation. A missed nuance in a safety, regulatory or code-of-conduct module can leave learners without the knowledge they need to work safely and compliantly and leave your organisation exposed. ALM’s compliance training translation follows the same terminology consistency and technology-driven workflows used across our other e-learning projects, helping ensure your regulatory content reads clearly and accurately in every language your workforce needs.
LMS and E-learning Platform Compatibility
ALM can work with many common e-learning tools and formats, including Articulate Storyline, Rise, Adobe Captivate, Lectora, LearnDash, SCORM, xAPI, HTML5, video files, subtitle files and structured training content.
Our technical localisation team can help extract, translate and re-import content while protecting the structure and functionality of your course. This reduces the risk of broken layouts, missing text, incorrect navigation or formatting issues after translation.
Whether your course library is on Articulate Rise, Captivate, LearnDash, or another Learning Management System (LMS), ALM adapts the underlying files so that formatting, quizzes, and navigation continue to work exactly as intended after translation. Our workflow supports SCORM and xAPI packages, so your LMS translation goes live without breaking the course structure your learners already know.
Multilingual Training That Maintains Engagement
Training content must do more than communicate information. It needs to keep learners engaged.
When localising e-learning modules, we consider language length, tone of voice, cultural references, on-screen text, visuals, examples, buttons, quizzes and audio timing. This helps ensure learners in each market receive a training experience that feels natural and easy to follow.
For example, translated text can expand significantly in some languages. German, French and Spanish may require more space than English, while other languages may affect layout, timing or button design. Our team checks these elements, so your multilingual course remains usable and professionally presented.
Subtitles, Voiceover and Multimedia Localisation
Many e-learning courses include videos, narration, animations, demonstrations and interactive media. ALM supports multilingual subtitle translation, professional voiceover, AI-assisted voiceover, audio synchronisation and multimedia localisation.
For premium training content, human voice talent can provide a polished learner experience. For high-volume programmes, AI-assisted voiceover may offer a faster and more cost-effective option, supported by human-in-the-loop linguistic review to maintain accuracy and quality. Our subtitling and video localisation services follow the same review process, whichever format your course content is delivered in.
We can also support subtitle timing, transcript translation, on-screen text localisation and video adaptation, helping you deliver ready-to-use multilingual training content.
Consistency Across Large Training Programmes
Training programmes often involve repeated terminology, recurring modules and frequent updates. Translation technology and terminology management help maintain consistency across courses while reducing duplication and improving efficiency over time.
This is especially valuable for organisations managing large volumes of content across multiple languages, markets or departments.
If your training programme evolves regularly, we can help you manage updates efficiently so revised content remains consistent with previous translations.

Frequently Asked Questions
E-learning courses work best when they engage the student and this often means using familiar, friendly language, eye-catching imagery and culturally relevant examples to help bring the subject to life. We understand that localising this type of content requires careful adaptation of visuals, idiomatic expressions and relatable scenarios to ensure that your online courses hit the right note.
E-learning content includes videos, subtitles, motion graphics and interactive quizzes, all integrated into specialist LMS software. With our internal technical expertise, we can handle many popular formats used in e-learning, such as SCORM, Articulate Storyline, Learndash, Captivate, Lectora and Adobe Captivate. We tailor our approach to suit your tech setup, delivering multilingual training content that seamlessly integrates into your infrastructure.
We have many years of experience translating content of this kind, boosted by our internal engineering capabilities and deep understanding of LMS platforms. This has enabled us to build an integrated workflow to deliver your ready-to-publish e-learning content directly to your LMS. Your training assets are in safe hands and will be delivered seamlessly, with the look and feel you require, in the languages you need.
Training courses typically contain a high volume of content, so localisation might seem like a time-consuming, costly task. We can recommend options to make it quicker and easier. For example, we might advise you to opt for subtitles instead of creating a new voiceover, use translation technology for repetitive text, involve the latest AI-powered tools or help you plan new courses with localisation in mind.
We know that translated content can end up longer or shorter than the original – e.g. German words can be considerably longer than their English equivalents. This can pose a challenge when localising training modules. We have many years of experience localising on-screen content and are adept at using desktop publishing software to adjust text and button size to ensure the perfect fit for multilingual training content.
Our adherence to ISO 9001 and ISO 17100 international quality standards is your guarantee that our translation process includes all the QA steps necessary to ensure that we deliver your training content fully tested and ready to publish. This includes checking that buttons work on your training interface, text fits on screen and audio syncs perfectly on your training videos.
If time and budget allow, we have access to professional human voice talent for premium voiceover services. Alternatively, AI voice technology has come on in leaps and bounds in recent times, offering a more cost-effective option backed by our human insight. We also have two decades of experience providing multilingual subtitles. Whichever option you choose, it will be expertly timed and synchronised and always culturally appropriate.
