Storyboard Text Extraction and Translation
CSOFT’s storyboard text extraction and translation services ensure the highest quality eLearning translations for successful courseware localization in hundreds of languages
For schools or businesses investing in eLearning localization for their online courseware and training materials, storyboard text extraction and translation marks the all-important stage at which the content tailored to fit the learning interface in the source language is retrieved for adapting into the target language. As more companies across industries and sectors move into this content area, topics as diverse as construction and engineering, hospitality, and even agriculture eLearning translations are becoming a dynamic yet challenging means of maximizing reach with audiences in new languages. Given the competitive landscape, seamless storyboard text extraction and translation can make the difference between passable and truly excellent outputs.
Generally beginning with the development of a CSV file (.csv) in which linguists can organize each segment of the translation script, this initial step of extracting storyboard text to translate and defining the parameters for each string of text is essential to facilitate the work of translation. Particularly when developing the eLearning content in languages that may naturally tend to overflow interface text limits, or which read from right to left, for example, effective text extraction is foundational to planning space parameters for a translated text element. Whether eLearning content is intended for translation to multilingual audiences at the time of its creation or needs to be adapted retroactively to new language requirements, it is important to work with an LSP (language service provider) that uses this step to identify challenges and plan translations that function effectively for learners.
With a global network of 10,000+ subject matter experts and linguists, CSOFT can provide text extraction and translation for a full range of eLearning models and styles, including:

Capturing eLearning Training Content in Full Dimension for Users in All Languages
Most fundamentally, eLearning is a form of software, and as such features all and more of the parameters that characterize software localization and app translation. Moreover, with more companies using multimedia and video formats to deliver engaging training content, the work involved in localizing an online course often needs to account for static and moving images, video segments, and other dynamic content elements that place emphasis on timing and synchronization. Ensuring that translations and dubbing segments line up to support the flow of a module, rather than impede or obscure it, requires additional localization support beyond purely linguistic adaptation.
