Education is more accessible than ever, thanks to advances in computer technology, video conferencing, and internet access. However, there are still some barriers, and the biggest one is language.
Translation for educational institutions and eLearning should cater to the specific needs of students. After all, a primary school curriculum would not have the same translation needs as one for college students. While countries may differ when it comes to educational structuring, grade levels typically fall into four categories.
Post-secondary education is heavily specialized. Translators need specific experience in the subject matter to understand graduate-level concepts and translate them for a new audience. Videos, text, and audio files require support as students will almost certainly encounter them during their studies.
Secondary education is thorough and detailed, and translations need to reflect the nuance expressed in the lessons. However, the audience is still young and varies widely in aptitude and interest. As a result, material needs to be translated in an accurate but accessible manner.
Primary education is a student's introduction to to specific subject matter. Translators need to convey the material in a way that welcomes students into the learning process and keeps students engaged and entertained. It takes an experienced hand to balance education and entertainment!
The most important part of early childhood education is helping young learners build a foundation of skills and knowledge so that their young brains are prepared to learn! This material needs to be stimulating and varied enough to keep the attention of young minds!
