Mostly Bs: Your eLearning is translated, but is it localised? 

Your current AI-generated multilingual eLearning suffices, and factors like accuracy and extensive localisation aren’t your primary concerns. However, when it comes to eLearning content focused on improving job performance or compliance, it’ll be well worth considering the potential benefits of investing in more tailored localisation services for enhanced engagement and retention.

Mostly Cs: eLearning in English will do nicely. 

Since your workforce consists solely of native English speakers, extensive eLearning localisation may not be necessary. However, you could always check out our eLearning provider partner, Marked Improvement, for English language eLearning solutions. And a quick FYI, translation and localisation aren’t exactly the same thing. While translating refers to transferring linguistic meaning, localisation does that while also adapting content to suit different cultures, which enhances engagement and effectiveness in eLearning.
