You’ve spent countless hours designing and developing your training courses. You have paid attention to every little detail and with a global audience, these courses must have the same impact globally as they do domestically.

More times than not how and who you use for in country review can make or break any translation project. You can use the tightest requirements when choosing a language service provider but if you do not have the right in country reviewers, who also utilize a well-defined in-country review process there’s a good chance you will project will encounter huge delays and disagreement on what is the correct translation or interpretation. So what do you do? First it all starts with having the right reviewer(s). Too often companies assign the review to a native speaker, who is in-country who also has the “time” to do the review. This is often a recipe for disaster. Just because someone is a native speaker doesn’t qualify them as a subject matter reviewer. What you need is someone who is not only well versed on the subject matter, but also has the education level to review any nuance that may be associated with the project; be it company vernacular, industry jargon, technical requirements, etc.

At Verbis we understand how challenging the review process is, but we also understand the importance of an accurate review. Our managed in-country review methodology not only helps our clients identify the right review team, it adds the quality and efficiency of the overall project. We believe that a review team should be an extension of the translation team. We involve the clients’ designated reviewers from the beginning of the project; the sooner the better for review collaboration. Our results have shown by engaging the review team from the onset creates harmony and fosters a team approach. Our review methodology allows the reviewers to feel empowered, adding to the success of the project. By doing so their willingness to do what is needed to make the project a success is greatly increased. If you have been involved with multilingual review teams you know the challenges that occur.

Too often eLearning projects are developed in English, then have to be localized into other languages, only to find out that target language grows at 130% of the source language.

Now what? Do you change font size? Delete content? Change the message? Or maybe all of the above?
