Case Study: Providing Training Curriculum Translations for A Longtime Client
Over the course of our 30 years in the language service industry, Language Connections has provided translation and interpreting services to clients operating in the international development and public health fields. In these sectors, clear cross-cultural communication is a necessity in order to run and promote important global initiatives, especially when it comes to training curriculum translations. This is perhaps best evidenced by our experience working with a prominent international non-profit developing public health campaigns related to issues ranging from malaria prevention to sexual and reproductive.
Language Connections has been a proud partner to this organization for a number of years. One recent project required Portuguese and French translation services for training curriculums designed to support their sexual and reproductive health initiatives across multiple African countries.
The Linguistic and Cultural Nuances:
The translation of these training materials required a deep understanding of regional dialects, idioms, and cultural references to ensure the content was relevant and engaging for local communities.
The Technical Terminology of Training Curriculum Translations:
The curriculums contained specialized medical and technical terms related to reproductive health, which required precise and accurate translation to avoid misunderstandings.
The Consistency Required For Training Curriculum Translations:
Maintaining consistency in terminology and style across all curriculum materials and learning modules was crucial to creating effective training materials during the elearning localization process.
Language Connections adheres to a comprehensive, multi-step workflow to produce the highest quality translation services for its clients. To meet our client’s unique needs, we approached all training curriculum translations according to the following steps:
First: Putting Together a Team
Our skilled project management put together a talented team of linguists with experience translating documents related to international development and public health as well as a deep understanding of local African cultures. Our linguists were trained on the project’s goals, target audience, and requirements to ensure they understood the client’s mission. Our staff then formulated a custom-crafted project management strategy, which included regular check-ins with representatives of the organization to ensure that deadlines would be met and all issues would be promptly addressed.
Second: Translating the Curriculum Materials
Our translation project managers coordinated flawless translation and back translation and facilitated the reconciliation process across multiple languages in collaboration with the client and linguistic teams. Our translators were able to use their expertise in particular cultures to localize materials to fit the linguistic nuances and cultural preferences of the intended audience.
Third: Quality Assurance For Training Curriculum Translations
Our rigorous quality assurance management system involved multiple rounds of proofreading and validation by native speakers to ensure accuracy and cultural sensitivity. The client’s team then implemented the translations using desktop publishing software.
Thanks to our vast network of translators and skilled project management team, Language Connections was able to deliver high-quality training curriculum translations for our client. The organization we helped reported increased comprehension and engagement during the training sessions thanks to our high-quality, culturally sensitive translations, demonstrating the importance of professional international development translation services to communication during global health initiatives.
