Localization Workflow

Translate Course Content Without Breaking Course Structure

Generic translation tools strip out formatting, break table structures, and mix learner-facing text with internal developer notes. Cluelabs translates course content within your existing storyboard or structured tables, keeping slide context, instructional notes, and media timing completely organized.

  • Selective field translationChoose exactly which storyboard columns to translate—such as narration scripts or on-screen text—while leaving developer instructions untouched.
  • Two-column Word table alignmentTranslate documents with source text in column 1 and target translations populated directly into column 2.
  • Dozens of supported languagesLocalize training materials across major global languages and regional dialects.
  • Direct media generationOnce your storyboard is translated, generate localized voiceover narration and captions in Content Studio with one click.

Storyboard Localization

Translate Storyboards Directly Inside Content Studio

Eliminate the need to copy and paste text out of your storyboard into external translation software. Cluelabs localizes your project directly inside the Content Studio environment.

  • Column-by-column controlSelect which fields to translate, including slide titles, narration scripts, on-screen text, visual direction, and activity prompts.
  • Preserve slide relationshipsMaintain the exact slide order, pacing, chapter structures, and interaction logic established in the original course.
  • Safeguard original versionsDuplicate your original project with one click before translating so you retain a complete copy in the source language.
  • Instant voiceover generationUse Content Studio's voiceover generator to produce native-sounding narration audio in the target language immediately after translation.

Document Translation

Translate Two-Column Word Tables with Ease

If your team uses Word-based review documents or localization tables, Cluelabs automates the translation process while keeping document formatting intact.

  • Side-by-side layoutUpload a Word document (.docx) containing a two-column table to keep source text and target translations side by side for easy review.
  • Downloadable Word templateStart immediately with our pre-formatted Word starter template designed for elearning translation workflows.
  • Preserve text stylesRetain paragraph breaks, bullet formatting, and table borders without manual reformatting.
  • Easy stakeholder handoffShare the translated Word document with subject matter experts, client reviewers, or local managers for quick approval.

Background Processing

Handle Large Courses with Asynchronous Batch Processing

Translating a comprehensive multi-module curriculum takes significant computing power. Cluelabs processes large courses in reliable background batches so your workflow is never interrupted.

  • Asynchronous batchingStart a translation project and close your browser tab or log out without losing progress.
  • Real-time milestone trackingView step-by-step progress indicators showing batch completions, file saves, and final delivery timestamps.
  • Instant project accessOpen your translated storyboard directly in Content Studio or download your finished Word file as soon as the batch completes.
  • High reliabilityAutomatic retry mechanisms ensure large course files process smoothly to completion.

Quality Assurance

Combine AI Speed with Professional Human Proofreading

While AI translation handles the heavy lifting in seconds, high-stakes compliance courses and sensitive customer training often require human validation.

  • Integrated review portalRequest professional human review and proofreading directly through the Cluelabs custom project portal.
  • Linguistic and cultural nuanceEnsure industry idioms, regional nuances, and company acronyms are interpreted accurately for each target culture.
  • SME collaborationUse side-by-side Word exports to collect feedback from regional stakeholders before finalizing course audio and publishing.
  • Audit-ready documentationMaintain clean version histories of source and translated course files for corporate compliance records.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How does storyboard translation work inside Content Studio?

You select an existing storyboard from your account, specify the source and target languages, and choose which fields to translate—such as narration, on-screen text, or slide titles. Cluelabs translates those specific fields while preserving the slide sequence, layout notes, and interaction plans.

Will translation overwrite my original storyboard?

Yes, translation updates the selected project directly. To keep your original version intact, simply duplicate your storyboard in Content Studio before initiating the translation. This gives you two independent projects: one in the original language and one in the target language.

What format should my Word document follow?

Your Word document (.docx) should contain a table with two columns. Place your source text in the first column and leave the second column empty. Cluelabs translates the text and places the translated version directly into the second column. You can download our ready-to-use template file from the translation interface.

Can I generate localized narration audio after translating the storyboard?

Yes. Because the translated text resides directly in your Content Studio storyboard, you can immediately use the narration tool to generate spoken audio in the target language. You can select native voice profiles, adjust speech speed, and generate synchronized SRT captions for the new language.

Which languages are supported?

Cluelabs supports translation across dozens of languages, including Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Russian, Korean, Arabic, and Hindi.

What if our training requires human proofreading or certified translation?

If your course requires professional human review, you can submit your translated files to our custom projects team directly from the platform. Professional linguists will review, proofread, and validate your content for cultural nuance, regional terminology, and regulatory compliance.
