Not every course needs the same level of adaptation. We help you decide what actually needs to change before the work begins. 

 

Translate accurately.
Make learning accessible in another language. 

 

 Localise thoughtfully.
Adapt the elements that influence understanding, relevance and application. 

 

Preserve the learning.
Keep the intended outcomes consistent across languages and contexts. 

 Not Sure How Much Localisation Your Course Actually Needs? 

Not every course needs full localisation.

Some learning content can be translated effectively with minimal adaptation. Other courses rely heavily on cultural context, examples, terminology, visuals, legislation or learner expectations — and require a more considered approach.

 

What We Assess

The A Plus Localisation Readiness Assessment helps you understand the difference before committing to a larger localisation project.

Your course content

We review the structure, learning objectives and key materials to understand what needs to remain consistent across languages

Language & terminology

We identify terminology, specialist language and brand-specific wording that may require additional review.

Cultural & contextual factors

We flag examples, scenarios, references, visuals or assumptions that may not transfer effectively to your intended audience.

Learning experience

We consider whether translation alone is likely to preserve the intended learning outcome or whether elements of the course would benefit from localisation.

Production requirements

Where relevant, we assess video, voice, subtitles, supporting resources and other assets that need to be included in the localisation workflow.

Target Audience & Market

We consider who the learners are, where they are located and how factors such as professional context, education, language proficiency and local expectations may affect how the course is understood and applied.

What You Receive

At the end of the assessment, you'll receive:

Translation vs localisation recommendations
Areas requiring cultural or contextual adaptation
Potential localisation risks or considerations
Recommended production approach
Suggested level of A Plus support
Clear next steps for taking the course into your target market

 

Our aim isn't to recommend the most localisation possible. It's to identify the level of adaptation your learners actually need.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need localisation, or is translation enough? -

Not every course needs full localisation. For some content, accurate translation may be enough. Other courses rely on cultural references, examples, visuals, legislation or context that may need adapting for a new audience.

If you're unsure, our Localisation Readiness Assessment can help identify the appropriate level of support before you commit to a larger project.

Can you localise an existing course? +

Yes. We can work with existing courses and learning materials rather than requiring content to be rebuilt from scratch.

The first step is understanding your current content, platform, target audience and languages so we can determine what can remain unchanged and what may need translation or adaptation.

What types of content can you localise? +

A Plus can support localisation across a range of educational and digital content, including online courses, training programmes, video, podcasts, YouTube content, scripts, subtitles and captions, workbooks, presentations, assessments and supporting learning materials.

For audio and video content, localisation can include translated scripts or transcripts, subtitles and captions, multilingual voice production and other adaptations depending on the audience, platform and purpose of the content.

The exact approach depends on what you're creating, who it's for and how the content will be used.

Do you use AI for localisation? +

Yes — where it adds value.

AI can make elements of multilingual production significantly more efficient, including translation, transcription, voice production and video workflows. We combine technology with human review and judgement where appropriate to protect accuracy, context and the intended learning experience.

Can you translate and localise course videos? +

Yes. Video localisation can include translated scripts, subtitles and captions, AI-generated multilingual voice, lip-sync and other production requirements depending on the project.

We assess the existing video and target audience before recommending the most appropriate approach.

Do I need to localise my entire course? +

Not necessarily.

One of the principles behind our approach is:

Translate what transfers. Localise what creates a barrier. Preserve what makes the learning effective.

Some elements may transfer perfectly well through translation while others benefit from adaptation. We assess these separately rather than assuming everything needs to change.

How much does course localisation cost? +

The cost depends on factors such as course length, number of languages, content formats, level of adaptation, video requirements and the amount of human review required.

Our packages provide a starting point, but we'll confirm the scope and cost before work begins.

How long does a localisation project take? +

Timescales depend on the size and complexity of the course, number of languages, content formats and level of localisation required.

We'll agree the project scope, workflow and expected delivery schedule with you before production begins.

Can you work with multiple languages? +

Yes. A Plus supports multilingual projects and can coordinate localisation across multiple target languages as part of a single project.

For larger or ongoing programmes, we can also build workflows designed to make future multilingual updates easier to manage.

Can you localise podcasts and YouTube content? +

Yes. Localisation isn't limited to formal courses and training.

A Plus can support podcasts, YouTube videos and other educational or knowledge-led audio and video content that organisations and creators want to make accessible to international audiences.

Depending on the project, this might include transcription, translation, subtitles or captions, multilingual voice production, video localisation and contextual adaptation where needed.

You don't need to know which of these you need before contacting us. We can review the existing content, audience and target market and recommend an appropriate approach.

What happens after I contact A Plus? +

We'll start with a conversation about your existing content, learners, target markets and what you're hoping to achieve.

From there, we'll recommend an appropriate next step — whether that's straightforward multilingual production, a Localisation Readiness Assessment, a localisation project or a more extensive multilingual programme.

🔒Working With A Plus 

When you work with A Plus Virtual Solutions, you'll work directly with me from our first conversation through to project delivery.

I take the time to understand how your organisation works before recommending solutions, because every business has different processes, priorities and ways of working. Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach, every recommendation is tailored to your goals and the people who use your systems every day.

With a background in business administration, psychology and AI-enabled operations, my focus is on creating practical systems that genuinely improve the way organisations work. Whether we're implementing a CRM, streamlining workflows or introducing automation, the goal is always the same: helping your team save time, reduce complexity and build processes that support sustainable growth.
