Brainvisa Localization Services (BLS)

Brainvisa believes that localization is a creative process and needs to be sensitive to the finer cultural and content aspects of the identified local markets. As a result, Brainvisa makes a conscious effort to understand the local markets and acquire first-hand perspective by hiring consultants and experts from these markets, if available.

Brainvisa Localization Services (BLS) offer a simplified and systematic means to add local flavors to global learning and training initiatives. BLS with its distributed engagement model allows Brainvisa to rapidly develop localized versions and limit the time gap between the appearance of the training in its lead market and localized versions as small as possible. Thus, BLS offers cost-efficiencies with a very high return-on-investment.

Brainvisa has localization capabilities in over 50 languages, including all major European and Asian languages.

The Brainvisa Localization Service includes the following process phases:

In this phase, localization is completed for each component of the training individually. Brainvisa also utilizes cutting-edge tools and technology to automate and speed-up the process of localization.
• Testing and Quality Assurance - Following the localization phase, the localized training is rigorously tested for technical and linguistic quality assurance. This phase also includes local acceptance testing by local users to provide in-country validation.
