E-learning localization means amending an online course or training program to a specific country or region. This involves providing professional and accurate translation and localization services for content such as online courses, LMS platforms, e-books, animations, and more.
Localization extends beyond text translation and encompasses various elements of content presentation and cultural relevance. It involves adapting layout, images, color schemes, and other visual aspects to resonate with the target audience. Additionally, cultural information specific to the audience’s context is incorporated to enhance comprehension and relatability.
Units of measurement and currencies are localized to align with the target region’s standards, making the content more familiar and accessible to learners. This comprehensive approach to e-learning localization applies to diverse content types, including videos, voice-overs, interactive assessments, controls, and navigation.
The goal of proper localization is to ensure that learners in different parts of the world have a similar experience to the original audience. By considering and adapting these various aspects, the e-learning content becomes inclusive, engaging, and effective for a global audience.
Why e-learning localization services are essential:
We can translate and adapt course books, including text, images, and audio, to be appropriate for the learning experience.
Translation of all course contents, including tests and exams, is not a problem for us.
We help educational websites reach users from all over the world. This includes translating text, images, and audio, making the website more accessible and relevant for users.
For people working on practical courses, we translate training records, including user manuals, job aids, and guidelines.
We translate mobile learning applications and content to make learning easy and convenient. This allows users to access and learn from the course on their mobile devices–already translated.
Our main goal in translating interviews is to ensure the speakers’ meaning and intent are conveyed effectively.
We can translate and adapt quizzes and tests, including questions and answers, to be appropriate for culture.
For students learning from home, we can translate self-learning videos, including captions and subtitles, to deliver the course content.

After complete analysis, our project managers work with the client to plan and schedule the localization process. This includes determining the project’s scope, setting deadlines, and identifying specific requirements or guidelines that need to be followed.

LiS: Before the Storm
The Tolma4 Team created an unofficial Russian localisation for our game Before the Storm. We worked with them to help ease the implementation of this localisation as a mod and also promoted it across our brand channels, but they handled all technical issues and localisation work.

Writing a testimonial for Tolma4 Team is actually rather easy. Don’t think about any other localization partner for the Russian market, just go with the wonderful Tolma4 Team – no questions about this decision. Mi’pu’mi Games collaborated on The Lion’s Song with T4T and…
MechaNika, Agatha Knife, Colossus Down
Really professional and friendly team. They did an awesome job with the localization of our first game, MechaNika. Can’t wait to work together again on future projects!
Over the Ocean
Tolma4 Team was easy to work and communicate with on the long, 50k+ word Russian and German localizations of Even the Ocean. They were fast in localizing art assets, and their QA caught missing text that I had forgotten needed to be localized.
Treasure Adventure
The fine folks at Tolma4Team did a FANTASTIC job with the localization and made the process as painless for me as possible. I was constantly impressed with their professionalism, quality and speed. The complexity of localizing was always something that worried me but Tolma4Team’s crew truly put my anxieties at ease.
Sally Face, IMMURE
It was a pleasure working with Tolma4 Team. Their work was very efficient, everything was handled with a professional quality. I hope to continue working with them in the future!
Atlas Reactor
Vernon’s Legacy
It is not easy to find a good translator for a computer game. Usual translators are often overwhelmed with such a task, there are sure more specialized in technical texts. The Tolma4Team specializes in the translation of video games and the guys do it really well.
Late Shift
It’s been a pleasure to work with the Tolma4 Team on the FMV game, Late Shift. They were professional and went above and beyond what was offered, even including a service for a number of YouTubers to play the game once the translations were complete.
Flat Kingdom
Evgenia and her team did a great work on Flat Kingdom. Delivered on time, adjusted to our budget, and with a great attention to the details.
It entails adopting an online digital course or program for a specific region or country. Hence, it will involve accurately translating and localizing text for animation, online classes, e-books, and LMS platforms.

The team’s professionalism throughout the entire process was fantastic and they worked quickly to provide a high quality localisation that appeared to be very well received by our Russian speaking fan community. We did not test or verify the contents of the modification created by the Tolma4 Team and therefore are unable to endorse it officially, but there is no question that their diligent work helped open up our game to Russian speaking fans.

They were professional and went above and beyond what was offered, even including a service for a number of YouTubers to play the game once the translations were complete. The translations were double checked in the game also, which is a very nice touch. The team were friendly and we would highly recommend them to any other developers or publishers looking for a quick and efficient turnaround of Russian localisation.
