Elektro-Material: Employee Trainings for the Swiss Market

The Swiss wholesale company Elektro-Material AG (EM) sought a long-term translation partner capable of meeting the technical demands of e-learning localization while maintaining the precise tone required. To ensure this, EM implemented a professional and structured selection process.

A Structured Selection Process by Elektro-Material AG:

Candidates, including smartspokes, took part in an evaluation project in which service providers were assessed based on stringent criteria. We are proud to have been selected by EM. For employee training, EM uses the authoring tool Articulate Storyline and the associated web app Articulate Rise. We translate the courses into French and Italian for the Swiss market, delivering them in their original format—eliminating the need for EM to handle formatting.

Our Task:

EM relies on Articulate Storyline and the web app Articulate Rise for creating their e-learnings. Our task is to localize these courses for French- and Italian-speaking regions of Switzerland, ensuring seamless functionality while maintaining the high quality of the original content.

Our Contribution:

  • Comprehensive Localization: We manage the full adaptation of all content, including text, images, audio, and video.
  • Technical Precision: All elements are directly replaced and integrated within Articulate Storyline and Rise.
  • Thorough Testing: Before delivering the final courses to EM, we conduct extensive testing to ensure proper display and seamless functionality.

Benefits for Elektro-Material AG:

While EM focuses on the creative development of content, we manage the technical implementation in the target languages. This approach maintains the highest quality without requiring EM to allocate internal resources to time-consuming localization processes.

Results:

Our collaboration with EM showcases how professional translations and technical expertise create the perfect synergy. We ensure that employee trainings are compelling both linguistically and technically, providing a consistent learning experience across all linguistic regions of Switzerland.
