Multilingual e-learning: how the main authoring tools compare.
Language counts vary by product and can change. Compare what gets translated, what it costs, and how learners receive it.
Every signup starts with a 7-day free trial of Professional. No credit card. Auto-downgrades to Free.
Everything translated together
Text, narration, video captions, quiz questions and alt text, in one click.
Translation in every plan
No separate translation add-on or per-word fees. Translation uses plan credits; narration uses the monthly voice allowance.
Local where it matters
Each language is its own course, so regions can change images, examples or questions.

Buyer's checklist
Questions to ask any vendor
Of your languages, how many include narration in that language?
Is narration translated automatically, or do we re-create it for each language?
What happens to the audio in languages without a voice?
Is translation included in the price, or is it an add-on? What does it cost per year?
Which plan includes translation, and does that plan limit how many courses we can publish?
Are videos translated, or only text?
Can each language version be adapted locally, for example different images or examples?
Can learners choose their language in one SCORM package in our LMS?
