Question 1

What do professional eLearning translation services include?

Accepted Answer

Services cover on-screen text, assessments, player UI, images and graphics, plus voiceover and subtitles. Tomedes also builds a glossary and style guide, runs linguistic QA, and returns LMS-ready SCORM, xAPI, or AICC packages.

Question 2

Which authoring tools and file formats does Tomedes support?

Accepted Answer

Articulate Storyline and Rise, Adobe Captivate, Lectora, iSpring, and other tools. XLIFF or XML exports are preferred, and native source files are accepted if exports are not available.

Question 3

Will my SCORM/xAPI/AICC course still work after translation?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Tomedes repackages and tests the course so tracking, completion, and navigation work as expected. IDs, manifests, and triggers are validated in each language.

Question 4

Can Tomedes localize audio and video for courses?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The team translates scripts, records professional voiceover, creates and QA-checks subtitles, and syncs audio and captions to the visuals.

Question 5

Which languages are available, including right-to-left?

Accepted Answer

Tomedes supports over 270 languages, including RTL languages such as Arabic and Hebrew, with correct layout and punctuation.

Question 6

How much does eLearning translation cost?

Accepted Answer

Cost depends on word count, language pair, engineering needs, audio or video, and the required deadline. Small jobs may have a minimum fee. A firm price is confirmed after file review with a written quote.

Question 7

How long does eLearning translation take?

Accepted Answer

Timing depends on content length, interactivity, media, number of languages, and LMS testing. After scoping, Tomedes confirms a schedule. Translation throughput often averages about 2,000–3,000 words per translator per day, with added time for engineering and media.

Question 8

Can machine translation be used for training content?

Accepted Answer

MT can help with drafts or internal training. For customer-facing or regulated courses, Tomedes recommends human translation with LQA to protect clarity, tone, and accuracy.

Question 9

What is the project process from handoff to delivery?

Accepted Answer

Tomedes reviews scope and files, sets terminology, translates, performs QA, engineers text and media back into the course, runs final in-LMS testing, then delivers the localized package.

Question 10

How should we prepare files for translation?

Accepted Answer

Export to XLIFF where possible, avoid text in images, finalize the English copy, share brand and terminology resources, and provide LMS access for final testing.

Question 11

Can quizzes, branching, and triggers be preserved?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Engineering validates variables, triggers, and branching in each language and fixes any issues found during testing.

Question 12

How does Tomedes ensure accuracy and consistency across languages?

Accepted Answer

Native linguists with subject expertise, approved glossary and style guide, translation memory use, bilingual review, and in-context checks inside the course player.
