LINE launches cost-saving text translation tool

LondonLearning NewsLINE Communications

LINE Communications, one of Europe’s leading providers of learning and communications, is proud to announce the official launch of its proprietary cost-saving text translation tool.

OTTR (Online Text Translation Review) is LINE’s brand new multi-language editing and reviewing tool allowing e-learning courses to be easily translated and localised. Text from the pages of the master course language can be viewed alongside the modification fields for the new language. Editors require little in the way of technical expertise to use the tool and can preview their translations – what you see is what you get – whilst they work.

OTTR has been developed in response to the global nature of LINE’s work, often requiring e-learning to be delivered across multiple continents to tens-of-thousands of employees. The tool allows client translators to make the language revisions themselves, saving them expensive redevelopment costs.

LINE’s Technical Director, Paul Brown, says: “We are thrilled to launch this easy-to-use, highly efficient tool. LINE has many years experience working with global clients on large scales, bringing them result-focussed e-learning. We know that the way people learn in one country is not necessarily the same in another. OTTR provides organisations with the flexibility to tailor their courses to suit different cultures as well as providing them with a cost-effective solution to traditional translation methods.”
