TranslateMedia`s expertise in the use of an e-learning software called Lectora

a network of over 1000 translators covering more than 55languages, it is clear that their specialism is language and not IT so they weredelighted to discover that Lectora was easy to learn. Matt Train is one of a team of three linguists chosen to learn the programme, inorder to respond to that first client s need. He says Lectora was pretty easy tolearn, and quick because it is quite intuitive. A few clicks, a few tries and wesoon picked it up and could get moving on our first project, which were courses totrain staff on anti money-laundering and other financial regulations, which vary indifferent territories. The first brief was to translate courses from English into French and German. Theteam found that Lectora was flexible enough to cope with their unique needs. Translating into certain languages creates design challenges to overcome. Forexample, translating from English into German can grow the amount of text by around50% so you can have problems fitting it onto the original page, or find it gets toocluttered, and we have to work with it to fit everything in while maintaining thestyle that the client was aiming for. Eighteen months on, translation of eLearning courses has become a valuable revenuestream which TranslateMedia believes has good growth potential as companiesincreasingly seek to use these tools to educate employees and clients around theworld. Lectora is the standard for eLearning authoring for many global brands. Oneglobal leader in international express delivery and air freight approachedTranslateMedia with eight substantial internal training courses developed in Lectorain English, for translation into German. TranslateMedia sees that eLearning translation and adaptation for different marketswill continue to be a part of its business with Lectora as a key component. Clientchoose us because of our experience with Lectora, and we believe we are one of veryfew agencies with this capability. We are also interested to see what opportunitiesmight be opened up by using the new multiple language versions. As its eLearning translation business grows, TranslateMedia believes it is importantto keep pace with Lectora s development, and has recently upgraded to the 2008version. The latest version of Lectora is even easier to use. The translation toolwithin it has been improved and now works really well and makes it much easier forus to do our job.
