Choosing Translation Services for Educational Institutions

Translation services for educational institutions and eLearning should cater to the specific needs of students. After all, a primary school curriculum would not have the same translation needs as one focused on college students. While countries may differ when it comes to structuring, grade levels typically fall into four categories.

Primary	Middle	Secondary	Post-secondary
Translation for young students needs to focus on simplicity. Linguists should avoid excessively formal tones to keep children engaged. Videos will also likely play a heavy role in education, so agencies will need to provide voice-over options. Subtitles may be too advanced for early readers.	Pre-teens require a balance between simplicity and increasing complexity. Students begin exploring individual interests, so the ability to engage them on specific subjects is vital. Lessons and homework assignments will require special consideration.	Teens preparing for adulthood perform more independent work than their younger counterparts, so accurate multimedia content is necessary. Testing is vital at this stage. The translation agency must support standardized examinations and grading rubrics.	Post-secondary education is heavily specialized. Translators need specific experience in the subject matter to understand graduate-level concepts and translate them for a new audience. Videos, text, and audio files require support as students will almost certainly encounter them during their studies.

Each grade level will have a unique set of needs, and many fields of study will be highly specialized. Bureau Works has the expertise, technology, and talent necessary to translate content for every language level in every format.

The Bureau Works Approach to Translation Services for Schools

At Bureau Works, we can cater to educational institutions with our diverse linguistic staff, innovative localization management platform, and industry expertise. Our features and offerings include:

Multilingual support: Many translation services for schools serve the major languages without targeting all the regional dialects. We are continually seeking out new talent and keep a variety of linguists on staff to handle any language request. Plus, we can support you through multilingual language projects as you expand your international audience.
Computer-assisted translation (CAT) tools: CAT tools give our linguists the insight, information, and context needed to make the right decisions for your content. Our platform provides suggestions based on your termbases, translation memories, and corporate lexicons. Linguists can also see how content will display via our unique preview panel. These tools provide the guidance needed to generate the best possible translation for your audience.
Multimedia capabilities: Not all translation agencies can handle videos, subtitles, audio files, and more. We provide an end-to-end solution for all your translation needs, whether you need voice-over talent, video edits, subtitles, or other media. This ability is an especially useful tool for educational institutions since students learn in many different ways. Our services support all diverse learning styles.
Top-tier security: We protect your proprietary or confidential information with our secure platform and encryption services. Even uploading and downloading options are restricted. These measures limit the risk of content leaving the system and winding up in the hands of unauthorized users.
Streamlined workflow: Our platform provides detailed information on exactly where every piece of content is within the process. You don’t need to track down linguists or follow up on projects because we manage it all for you in one central location.
Transparent billing: Many translation agencies offer an upfront quote, but then end up billing for an increased amount due to hidden add-ons—we don’t conduct billing like this. With Bureau Works, you receive an estimate at the start of every project that is guaranteed to match the invoice at the project’s end.
Extensive integrations: Our program works with a wide range of content management systems so you can streamline your uploading. These integrations save you a few steps since we can push content live as soon as it’s approved. Your students get the most up-to-date information, and you save time in the process.
Detailed reporting: Do you want to understand where your translation budget goes and which languages offer the highest returns? Our granular-level reporting system can help you see the cost of translation and compare it to engagement levels based on courses, languages, or even specific documents. Those insights can help you design a curriculum plan that’ll be well-received.

We offer the best translation services for educational institutions, regardless of grade level. Our expert linguists can provide translations for a wide range of languages and subjects. With Bureau Works in your corner, you can eliminate barriers to education and provide a curriculum that supports students around the world.
