We’re excited to introduce Elucidat’s new Auto-Translate feature. Auto-Translate will enable you to translate your elearning content into 75 different languages at the click of a button. Powered by machine translation, Auto-Translate will save you time and money when you localize your elearning content.

At Elucidat, we believe that elearning should be people-centered. One of the components of people-centered learning is to make it widely available. It’s important to cater to all of your learners, and language barriers can hinder the learning experience for some employees. With Auto-Translate, you can now make your content more accessible to a wider audience.

What is Auto-Translate?

Auto-Translate is a new Elucidat feature powered by machine translation. It allows you to translate your elearning content into 75 different languages, including English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Chinese, and Japanese.

Users with Auto-Translate enabled, can simply choose their source and target language and within seconds, you’ll have a fully translated course. And with Elucidat’s adaptive features, you won’t need to resize or rejig components to accommodate the new text – Elucidat does it for you.

Our Auto-Translate feature uses a machine translation service that delivers more accurate and more natural-sounding translations by using deep learning models. Auto-Translate will allow you to dramatically reduce the effort it takes to translate elearning content. Courses translated using this feature can simply be reviewed by a translator for minor adjustments rather than outsourcing the whole translation, saving time and money.

How does this benefit elearning creators?

Auto-Translate provides some clear benefits:

• Saves time and effort – let Elucidat do the heavy lifting and, within seconds, translate all of your course content. Once translated, someone can review and sense check before releasing it to learners. Auto-Translate has the ability to reduce effort by 90% for learning teams.
• Reach more learners – with content in learners’ first languages, you’ll increase engagement and be able to reach more people across your organization.
• Be more people-centered – inclusivity matters within elearning design. By providing content in more languages, you can provide a better, more inclusive experience for your learners allowing them to learn in their own language.
• Reduce translation costs – agency translation can be expensive, especially if you need to translate a lot of content into a lot of languages. Auto-Translate will enable you to reduce the number of translations you need to outsource to agencies, reducing costs significantly.

“Auto-Translate will be a game changer. We had scheduled a whole quarter for us to get this course translated into 26 languages! Now with Elucidat we can do it in 10 minutes.”
– A Global Drinks Brand

Are you looking for an elearning agency to help with your next project? There is a wide array of organizations out there that offer elearning solutions. Here are 12 that we know have experience using Elucidat to produce digital learning.

Please note: inclusion in this list is not an endorsement of the quality of their work, nor a recommendation. We encourage you to check out reviews and examples of their work before you sign up!

Choosing an elearning agency 

Elearning agencies can inject fresh ideas and creativity into your projects. Thanks to the size of their production teams, they can often turn projects around quickly too. So if you’re looking for an outside perspective, or for someone to help you meet a tight deadline, an agency could help you create a successful Elucidat project in the moment.

What about in-house skills?

The piece that you’ll need to provide is the in-depth knowledge of your organization, content and audience. To ensure this crucial personalization isn’t lost, many organizations prefer to develop their own innovative learning teams in-house. These internal teams use Elucidat to create high quality, scalable elearning for the long term. But that’s not to say a little extra creativity or speed isn’t sometimes needed, which is where Elucidat’s Professional Services come in.

How does Elucidat work with elearning agencies?

When our customers are working with an agency to produce elearning for them, they will usually give the agency access to work within their Elucidat account.

Both customers and agencies often build our quick turnaround Professional Services into their project plans to ensure they’re getting the best out of Elucidat’s features and functionality. We can inject creative ideas at the start of a project or create prototypes directly with our customers that lay out an approach for an agency to follow.

Does Elucidat have an agency arm?

Elucidat isn’t a content production house, but our Professional Services team can support you with the development of your elearning.

The team offers a wide range of targeted coaching and consultancy services to help Elucidat customers to build skills in-house, rather than creating elearning projects for them. There are a wide range of services on offer, ranging from helping to create a blended learning strategy, to building a prototype or coaching you through the lifecycle of a project.

Learn more about the support and services Elucidat offers.

Elucidat’s latest feature hasn’t got the most exciting name, but we developed it for a very good reason. This powerful enhancement to the way our users manage their teams was developed using a combination of customer feedback, input and product research. 

As a result, there’s three exciting functions wrapped up in Advanced User Management. In this article, we’re taking a look at the what and why of each of these functions, plus how to get your hands on Advanced User Management.

Creating your own roles

What is it?

Have you ever wished there was a role built specifically for one person? A team? Your boss?

Well, custom-fit permissions for your organization’s users are now a reality with Advanced User Management. You can create roles which fit your ways of working. Add or remove access to features on a granular level; whether you want to bring in an SME to purely write content, or Marketing as Brand Managers – you’re completely in control of the features and permissions your users access.

Why is it included?

We know that everyone works differently. Advanced User Management gives you the flexibility you need to fit Elucidat roles to the ones in your organization. 

Whether you adopt a centralized team structure, remote or crowdsourced – set up the roles, departments and folders you need to control how your team accesses the things they need to succeed. Creating custom roles means it doesn’t matter how you work – Elucidat works for and with, your business.

Editing default roles

What is it?

To give you the most flexibility possible, Advanced User Management not only lets you create your own roles – but edit the permissions attached to the default ones too.

For example, if your Authors are only in charge of populating learning content you can just give them permission to Authoring mode. Layout designers only need Layout mode. Reviewers might be in charge of final sign off for release. The choice is totally yours.

Why is it included?

Because your core roles are your most important ones, the ones which sit at the centre of your learning production. Being able to edit default roles means you can fully tailor the roles to the responsibilities in your team. 

Bulk user management

What is it?

Multi-add users to, and edit the users in, your account. Copy and paste the email addresses of a whole department, or select and change the role allocated to an entire set of users. Save hours of time, and combine with the Departments structure, to give select access to projects as required quickly and simply.

Why is it included?

Adding and deleting users one at a time can result in hours of time spent administering your account. With bulk actions in Advanced User Management, you’ll be able to save that time and spend it on more important tasks. Plus, with an enhanced interface, you can be sure of which users you’re selecting to edit or remove. 

How do I get Advanced User Management?

If you have an Enterprise or Scale plan with us – great news! Advanced User Management is already available in your account. You’ll need to be an administrator to access, but if you are you can dive right in!

If you’re a customer not on the above plans, don’t worry. Whether you’re part way through your subscription, just started or about to renew, you can get Advanced User Management. Just fill in the form below and your Account Manager will be in touch to discuss the options you have. 

And if you’re not already a customer, fill in the form and our team will be in touch to understand more about your needs and book in a personalised demo of everything Elucidat can do.
