A leading global SaaS marketing automation platform needed to localize its training academy content to reach new markets. To expand to a French-speaking audience, the company required scalable localization for training videos, including:

• Translation of training scripts
• Capture screen recordings on the French platform
• Professional voiceover recordings

However, incomplete UI translations and feature gaps between English and French versions presented significant challenges. Additionally, the client required high-quality human voiceovers instead of AI-generated narration for a more natural user experience.

With extensive experience in multilingual video localization, Welocalize provided a seamless, end-to-end solution, ensuring high-quality training videos fully adapted for French-speaking users.

Challenges: UI Limitations and Training Content Adaptation

The localization of training videos posed multiple challenges:

1. Incomplete French UI for Screen Recordings

• The French version of the software lacked some features found in the English version, making it difficult to capture accurate UI demonstrations.
• Missing UI elements required a structured approach to reporting bugs and inconsistencies.

2. Time-Intensive Screen Recording Process

• Training videos required long, uninterrupted screen recordings of over 300 hours. Any error meant starting over and adding complexity to the workflow.
• The team needed an efficient system to capture and edit localized content accurately.

3. Client-Specific Translation Management System (TMS)

• The client used its own TMS for translations. Welocalize had to integrate seamlessly into their workflow while ensuring translation quality.

4.   Human vs. AI Voiceover Considerations

• While AI voiceovers were considered cost-efficient, the client ultimately chose human voice recordings for a higher-quality, brand-aligned user experience.
