Challenges
Medically sensitive content in a rich e-learning context
Communicating in the medical and pharmaceutical field requires absolute accuracy and meticulous attention to detail. As well as the complex subject matter, the e-learning included layers of interaction to create an engaging learning experience and optimise knowledge retention. These layers and content structures needed to be just as effective across multiple languages and the localization of these needed to be as efficient as possible.
Solution
An efficient localization and engineering strategy handling multiple languages
The 3di team:
- Analysed Delta Kn’s requirements, providing initial consultancy to advise on the best approach to localization.
- Carefully selected expert medical translators that could be trusted to handle the source material, and could understand the complex content structures.
- Implemented a comprehensive localization strategy, applying it to 8 languages.
- Designed an efficient process for rebuilding and testing the translated e-learning modules, ready for delivery back to Delta Kn.
- Introduced an innovative review tool, making it easier and quicker for the client in-country reviewers to provide feedback.
- Created and managed Translation Memories (TMs) for each language, across content types, to provide consistent translations.
- Coordinated the feedback of client reviewers to achieve consistency across e-learning modules and ensure accuracy compared to source material.
