Great question, because translation is actual the most common aspect of localization. As you probably know, translation is the process of converting the language from one to another. Typically, this means going from English to one or more additional foreign languages. As we described above, this can be just the narration, or every written and spoken word within the course. Localization would include translation, but would also extend to the visual, tonal, and any other culturally relevant aspects of the course. This could mean swapping images of “American” people for those from the target country or region, changing the tone of the course, the color scheme, or the examples used to fit within the desired vibe for the audience. Basically, translation is about converting the language, the rest of localization is about all the other things that make a course feel “at home” to an audience in another culture.
