Articulate Localization helps you upskill your global learners more quickly and efficiently with three primary processes:

Language Validation Verify the accuracy of localized content with a new language validation experience in Review 360. Validators can preview their changes in context, and authors can import them directly back into the source project. |
Multi-language Workflow Management Streamline end-to-end localization for your Rise 360 and Storyline 360 courses. Manage all your languages in a single project, keep track of the validation process in Review 360, and publish all languages at once to Reach 360 or your LMS. |

Note: Many languages available for one-click translation also offer different degrees of formality. Articulate Localization defaults to a formality level that is broadly appropriate for training in an organizational setting. However, you can adjust the formality of the translation based on your organization’s communication style.
