Challenge #2: Quality

Articulate Localization has really improved the quality of our localization efforts. With other tools, there’s so much room for manual error with missed or incorrect captions—but Articulate reduces error by streamlining the files and workflow. And it’s the only solution we’ve tried with live course context for reviewers.

Solution: Achieve higher accuracy

Articulate Localization helps you deliver higher quality at scale. Blend the speed of AI translation with the accuracy of in-context human reviews.

Before:

🤖 AI-only translation. Fast and scalable, but may lack context when left unchecked, leaving the potential for missed tone and regional nuance.
👥 Human-only translation. More nuanced, but quality varies by person, and the process is slow and costly—especially across multiple vendors or languages.

After:

Combined approach. Articulate Localization pairs AI speed with human precision. Your language validators edit and preview real-time changes directly in the course for faster, higher-quality results.
