Corporate training departments can choose between a variety of tools to develop internal elearning courses, each with their pros and cons in terms of cost, versatility and learning curve. For those training a global workforce, the "localization-friendliness" of the tool can have serious cost implications and become an important factor in the selection process. Separately, once the tool is chosen, being able to make full use of its features and capabilities can help smooth and speed up the localization process.

In this presentation our speaker, Xavier Marchand of JBI Studios, discusses three of the most popular elearning tools – Articulate, Captivate, and Flash – examining the relative strengths and weaknesses of each from a localization perspective.

This audio conference covers:

• How to fully utilize the localization-friendly features of Flash, Articulate and Captivate
• How the three tools compare for ease of localization
• Foreign-language audio synchronization methods
• Subtitling in these elearning tools vs subtitling video files
