Translating Your Online Course Into Other Languages Video Lecture | Online Course Creation: Build your Course from Scratch - Professional Skills

hey I'm grateful sinkovitz and we're
gonna talk about translating your online
course into other languages now when it
comes to translation there's really two
components there's platform translation
so that's the place where you put your
course and translating the overall
platform now the other part of it is
content translation so we're gonna spend
most of our time on content translation
I'll just say if you are hosting your
online course with think--if ik it's
basically one click to just select the
language and hey your whole platforms
translated then you got to worry about
the content so that's your videos and
your other lessons and other material
that you're delivering to your students
if you are a language expert you
probably don't need much help with this
you're gonna go and translate your own
content but for the rest of us we need a
little help with this and there's a lot
of places where you can get help with
content translation often in a very
affordable way so just a few resources
you can try out basically where you're
looking for freelancers to jump in take
a look at your content and provided
translations for it now ton of resources
you can find just on Google about
translations services but a few that
we've used that you might want to try
out Fiverr is one where you can
potentially find people that's a five
our our Fiverr calm there is up work
comm and freelancer comm and in these
places you can go and coordinate work
with freelancers who can come in and
actually translate your content so you
can give them access to your videos or
your course or your lessons your quizzes
and have them provide a translation file
for you or and for your videos it can be
a little tricky because you're probably
not going to reshoot your whole video
with a native Spanish speaker or French
speaker but you could just get captions
for different languages so that is
another option you don't have to go full
reproduction of your course
in terms of why you might want to do
this or when you might want to do it I
would say don't do this as the first
step once you've created your course in
your native language probably this is
something you do after you've sold a few
copies or you've gotten it out there and
you've had some success in the original
language of production and then you're
looking to reach other markets and then
at that point I'd even do a little bit
of research into those markets so you're
not spending your time and effort
translating into Spanish if there's not
much of a market for your course in
Spanish so do a little bit of research
make sure you've already got a bit of
success with your existing course and
then once you're at that point
translating your course into another
language can be a great way to reach out
into a whole new market of people who
otherwise wouldn't be exposed to your
course for more tips on online courses
