Translation for L&D involves rendering corporate training materials into additional languages so that employees across different regions receive consistent, accessible learning content. ### How can I translate with AI? Simply upload your training files, select your source and target languages, and let Smartcat’s AI do the translation in seconds—ready for review by expert reviewers. ### How accurate is Smartcat AI? In 2026, **92% of words** translated by Smartcat AI for paying customers were accepted without a single human edit. Quality keeps improving as Smartcat learns your glossaries, style, and every confirmed edit. For regulated or high-stakes training, add a professional reviewer from the Smartcat Marketplace. ### Does Smartcat remember my edits for the future? Yes, every confirmed edit updates your glossaries and translation memories, ensuring your future projects benefit from a continuously improving knowledge base. ### How can I make sure it is using the right terminology? You can upload your own glossary or let Smartcat generate one automatically. You can also select which glossary to use or edit it manually to ensure correct terminology. ### Which file types does Smartcat support? Smartcat supports **80+ file formats**, including **SCORM packages**, XLIFF, XML, DOC, PDF, INDD, XLS, AVI, MP4, and SRT. ### Can I translate SCORM packages? Yes. Upload a **SCORM 1.2 or 2004** package and Smartcat translates the course text, video, and documents inside it, then returns a package ready to upload to your LMS. [Learn more about SCORM translation](https://www.smartcat.com/scorm/). ### How can I translate courses from my authoring tool? Most course authoring tools export course text as an **XLIFF file**. Smartcat translates the file and returns it in the same format, so you never rebuild slides by hand. - **Rise:** open the course, go to Settings → Translations, and export the XLIFF file. Duplicate the course and import the translated file into the copy. - **Storyline:** go to File → Translation → Export, then use File → Translation → Import to bring the translation back. In between, upload the file to Smartcat, run AI translation into your target languages, and review it with your team or a Marketplace reviewer. ### Will my course keep its design and interactivity after translation? Yes. Because Smartcat works on the exported course file rather than copied text, your **structure, layout, and interactive elements** stay intact. You re-import the translated file into your authoring tool or export the course in the same format. ### Can I manage multiple language versions of the same course? Yes. Smartcat keeps every language version of a course in one workspace, so you can **update, track, and re-translate** changed content and keep global training in sync. ### Can I edit an XLIFF file in Smartcat? Yes. Upload your file to the [XLIFF translation editor](https://www.smartcat.com/xliff-translation-editor/), edit the translated text with your reviewers in real time, and export the updated file. ### What are best practices for translating e-learning courses? - **Lock terminology first:** upload a glossary or let Smartcat build one. - **Export from the final source version** of the course. - **Translate course text, video, and documents together** so every language ships at once. - **Have subject-matter experts review** in the same workspace. - **When the course changes, re-translate only the changed content**; translation memory handles the rest. - For regulated topics such as healthcare or finance, **add a professional reviewer** from the Smartcat Marketplace. ### Can I translate video files with Smartcat? Yes, Smartcat translates video files and automatically adds AI-generated subtitles. It supports formats such as AVI, MP4, MPEG, MOV, and various audio and subtitle formats. ### How much does it cost to translate an e-learning course? Smartcat prices translation in **Smartwords**: one Smartword per source word for each target language. Repeated content already in your translation memory is free on all current plans, so updating an existing course costs much less than translating it the first time. Enterprise teams using Smartcat cut translation costs by 96% compared with traditional agency rates in 2026.
