ELEARNING LOCALIZATION SERVICES
eLearning Localization Services
Localize courses, video, and assessments using adaptive AI, expert human verification, and course engineering that returns a working, publishable module. Not a folder of translated strings, and not a rebuild handed back to your instructional designers.
Proven at enterprise scale
Forrester Wave Leader
Named a Leader in The Forrester Wave: Translation Management Systems, Q3 2025, with the highest score possible in 13 criteria, including workflow automation and AI agents.
Lobster Ink: output more than doubled
The Ecolab division that trains staff at Marriott, Four Seasons, and Whole Foods more than doubled its localization output with LILT.
Pecege: hours to minutes
The Brazilian undergraduate and MBA provider now turns around repetitive course content in minutes rather than hours, across every language its teams support.
TRUSTED BY THE MOST INNOVATIVE ENTERPRISES, GOVERNMENT, AND AI/ML BUILDERS
WHO IT'S FOR
Built for every team that touches training content
L&D and enablement teams
Get a finished course back, not a translation file. LILT handles extraction, translation, multimedia, rebuild, and functional testing, so your instructional designers are not the last step in someone else’s workflow.
Localization managers
One governed platform for the whole course catalog: translation memory, glossary enforcement, QA automation, and real-time reporting on cost, quality, and coverage. Your reviewers stop re-correcting the same terminology in module after module.
Instructional design and courseware teams
Send the authoring source and the published package. LILT analyzes extraction, filtering, placeholders, and embedded assets before production starts, so surprises surface in a file analysis rather than in a broken localized build.
Compliance, safety, and certification programs
Risk-based workflows with qualified reviewers, SME approval, and a zero-critical-error policy for content where a wording change can invalidate an assessment. Private, on-premises, and air-gapped deployment available.
Video and multimedia training teams
Localize course video without rebuilding it by hand. LILT synchronizes subtitles and re-recorded or AI voiceover, replaces embedded on-screen graphics, and re-times media so the localized module plays cleanly in every market.
Partner and supplier training programs
Train a large external network of suppliers, resellers, and small businesses in the languages they actually work in. LILT delivers certificate-ready learning paths with market-level adaptation, including dubbed audio and mobile-friendly formats for lower-literacy learners, and republishes one SCORM course across markets without a manual rebuild. Risk-based workflows and SME approval keep certification content defensible.
Send the source, not just the published course
Published SCORM is a delivery format. It can be localized, but it is harder to edit and more expensive to maintain than the authoring source it came from. The most efficient workflow starts with both: your Storyline .story file or Rise export, plus the published package as a functional reference. LILT runs a representative-file analysis first, identifying text embedded in images, animations, quizzes, and custom HTML, then configures extraction and filtering rules before any translation begins.
Content routes to the workflow its risk deserves
Not every module needs the same treatment. High-volume internal training runs through adaptive AI translation with sampling. Customer-facing and high-visibility courses get full human verification. Safety, clinical, compliance, and certification content routes to qualified translation with independent review and SME approval. Certification questions are never published from an unreviewed machine pass, because a small wording difference can make an item ambiguous or invalidate the assessment.
Quality compounds across the catalog
Every correction a reviewer makes retrains the model on your terminology, your instructional voice, and your content. A term fixed in module one does not come back in module forty. Separate models and domains can be maintained for product training, compliance, clinical education, and onboarding, so language that is correct in one context is not forced onto another. Over a multi-year catalog this is the largest single driver of cost per course. Intel reduced translation cost 40% year over year with LILT, with translators working 3 to 5 times faster.
You get a working course, not a translated file
Localized text is reintegrated, on-screen graphics are replaced, subtitles and voiceover are synchronized, quizzes and navigation are updated, and the course is rebuilt and republished as a SCORM or xAPI package. Then it is tested: text expansion and truncation, button and quiz logic, media links, audio sync, accessibility behavior, and completion tracking in your LMS. Translation and course engineering are quoted as separate components, because the effort varies substantially by course.

Which LMS and learning platforms does LILT work with?
LILT localizes training content into 200+ languages and delivers SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004, xAPI, and AICC packages that publish into enterprise LMS platforms including Docebo, D2L Brightspace, LearnDash, Thought Industries, and custom systems. Automated workflows run through the LILT API, webhooks, and 100+ native integrations across your content and repository systems. Integration feasibility is confirmed against your specific platform, version, and deployment before a program starts. LILT maps five things first: where the editable source lives, which export format is available, who publishes the localized course, whether the platform exposes suitable APIs, and which metadata and permissions must be preserved.

Lobster Ink cut the gap between English and every other language
The result: Lobster Ink more than doubled its localization output with LILT.
Lobster Ink, a division of Ecolab, builds online training for hospitality and food retail brands including Marriott, Four Seasons, and Whole Foods. Like most localization teams, they sat at the end of the content process, translating in large batches after English was finished. With their previous vendor, localized content came back in weeks or months, so every course launched in English first and in other languages later. Adaptive models and a connected workflow removed the batching, which is what moved output rather than adding linguist hours.
Pecege ended the tool sprawl across its language teams
The result: repetitive course content that took hours now takes minutes, on one platform across every language.
Pecege delivers undergraduate and MBA programs from Sao Paulo, and localization sits inside its growth strategy rather than beside it. Course content, exams, administrative documents, and course descriptions all need to move. The problem was not capacity, it was fragmentation: each language team worked in a different tool, so timelines and quality diverged by language. Consolidating onto one platform removed the divergence and gave the team turnaround and speed metrics it had never been able to track.
The team working on localizing courses into Spanish was using one tool, while the team working on English was using a different tool, and so on. We were getting into trouble because the timelines and quality delivered was so different depending on the language, which was constantly causing problems.

Localizing the learning experience, not just the words
Translation produces an accurate baseline. It does not redesign a course for how a market learns. Where instructional structure, scenarios, reading level, or local regulation need to change, LILT adds a transcreation brief, a local learning SME, and a market reviewer, and documents which elements may change and which stay globally consistent. For what eLearning localization covers and how the process works, see the full guide.
