ISO 18587 LinguaVox provides education translation services for universities, schools, e-learning platforms, training providers, students and corporate academies. We manage multilingual projects in more than 150 languages, combining specialist translators with subject-matter knowledge, project management, terminology control and structured review workflows according to what each assignment requires. Since 2000, we have worked with academic institutions, training companies, EdTech platforms and students on the full range of educational documentation: academic records, course content, e-learning modules, training programmes and institutional communications.
Education and training translation covers two very different categories of work that are often handled together. The first is official administrative documentation — academic transcripts, diplomas, degree certificates, syllabuses and enrolment records — that needs to be accurate and, where submitted to an authority, may need to be certified or sworn. The second is instructional content — course material, e-learning modules, training videos, assessment content and programme descriptions — that needs to be pedagogically clear, appropriately adapted for the intended learner and consistent across a programme. Neither category tolerates vagueness, but they call for different skills and different quality checks.
Specialist translators with education expertise
We select translators by language combination, content type and academic or vocational discipline. A translator working on official academic records needs precision and, where a certified format is required, the correct authorisation for the destination country. One working on e-learning content for medical professionals needs different subject knowledge from one working on a school language curriculum or a corporate leadership programme. Our project managers assess these requirements before the assignment is made and apply the client's agreed terminology, learning design instructions and any platform requirements from the outset.
Where a translation will be submitted to a university, recognised by a professional body, published on an e-learning platform or used in a formal training programme, the workflow and review level are set accordingly.
Documents and content types we translate for education
Typical projects include academic transcripts, diplomas, degree certificates and enrolment records, university and school programme descriptions, course material and syllabuses, e-learning modules and SCORM content, training videos and subtitles, assessment and examination content, student information and handbooks, institutional websites and student recruitment communications, and corporate training and academy programmes.
We work with editable PDFs, Word documents, PowerPoint and e-learning authoring tool exports, subtitle files and structured LMS-compatible formats. For institutions and training companies with recurring content — curriculum updates, new module releases or annual cohort documentation — we maintain glossaries, translation memories and style instructions to keep discipline terminology, module names and assessment language consistent.
Quality workflows and ISO-certified processes
LinguaVox operates under ISO 9001 and ISO 17100 certified processes for quality management and professional translation. For published course content, examination material and official academic documentation, independent bilingual revision by a second qualified linguist, terminology checks and final project management review help reduce errors before delivery.
For high-volume, lower-risk content where machine translation post-editing is agreed as the appropriate workflow, we apply full post-editing in line with ISO 18587. Official academic records, examination content and regulatory training documentation are normally handled by human translation with revision. If your documents will be submitted to a specific authority, university or professional body, please inform us before the quote is confirmed so we can check the required format; final acceptance always depends on the receiving body.
Related services for education clients
Education projects frequently involve documentation that spans academic administration, legal, technical and marketing disciplines. Clients may also need technical translation services for specialised learning content in science, engineering or healthcare, or marketing translation services for student recruitment campaigns and institutional communications. For university and school websites, student portals and learning platforms, website translation services are available. We can also arrange interpreting services for academic conferences, international student events and institutional meetings. You can also explore our sector-specific translation services for related areas.
Confidentiality and project handling
Educational documentation regularly includes personal student data, unpublished examination content, confidential institutional strategies and pre-publication research. We manage all projects with professional discretion, apply handling arrangements aligned with applicable GDPR requirements to personal academic records and work under non-disclosure agreements where the project requires it.
Frequently asked questions
What does education translation include?
It can include course material, e-learning modules, academic transcripts, diplomas, student information, training video scripts, assessment content and programme descriptions. The correct workflow depends on whether the content is instructional, administrative, official or for publication.
Can you translate diplomas and academic transcripts?
Yes. We translate diplomas, transcripts, certificates, syllabuses and other academic records. Where the document will be submitted to a university, professional body or immigration authority, a sworn or certified translation may be required depending on the destination country and institution. We confirm the required format before starting.
Do you translate e-learning and training modules?
Yes. We translate e-learning modules, narration scripts, slide decks, quiz questions and training manuals, working with SCORM exports, authoring tool file formats and subtitle files. For recurring courses, glossaries and translation memories keep terminology and learning objectives consistent across modules and updates.
Can you adapt educational content for different learner audiences?
Yes. We take the learner's age, level, subject specialism and language variety into account. A university postgraduate module, a vocational training manual and a school subject handbook need different register, sentence complexity and terminology, and we confirm the audience profile before starting.
What should we send for an education translation quote?
Send the files, target languages, audience, deadline, intended use and any existing terminology or platform requirements. For official academic records, state the country and institution where the translation will be submitted. For e-learning content, include a sample of the export format and any platform constraints.
