2024 Expert Guide: 6 eLearning localisation trends to watch for

The rise of multilingual eLearning is showing no sign of slowing down. In 2022, the global eLearning market was valued at $399.3 bn, and some estimates expect that to grow by 14% by 2032. Around 90% of corporations already offer online learning in some capacity, so what are the eLearning localisation trends to watch for in 2024? And what’s the best approach to translating eLearning content into other languages?

Here’s our expert guide to help you out.

5 common eLearning translation mistakes to avoid

Translating your eLearning content is the first step to democratising learning and ensuring the best outcomes for everyone. But if you’re not an eLearning translation expert, some common mistakes can complicate or slow down the process.

What are the most common pitfalls when it comes to eLearning localisation, and how can these be avoided? Find out here.

6 reasons why localising DEI content is good for your brand

Even better – it’s good for business. Don't believe us? Read all here.


Language Fact of the Month!

Juno is the ancient Roman goddess of marriage and childbirth. No wonder the month of June is still a popular month for weddings today! Another interpretation of the origins of “June” says that the name came from the Latin juvenis, “young people,” who were celebrated at this time.
