Transforming Corporate Training: SVG’s Expertise in Spanish Video Localization

Revitalizing Corporate Training Materials

Skillman Video Group (SVG) was recently commissioned by a local Boston company to update their decade-old corporate training video by creating a Spanish version.

This project underscores SVG’s expertise in adapting and revitalizing existing training materials to meet the diverse needs of today’s workforce.

Technical Execution and Translation

From English to Spanish: A Seamless Transition

The first step involved extracting the video content from an old DVD—a process known as “ripping.”

SVG’s video editors converted the MPEG2 files into a higher resolution format suitable for editing.

Following this, our skilled translators undertook the task of accurately transcribing and translating the 12-minute video from English into Spanish, ensuring that all nuances and industry-specific terminologies were preserved.

Engaging Voice-Over Talent

Selecting the right voice is crucial for the effectiveness of any training video.

SVG facilitated the selection of professional Spanish-speaking voice-over talent.

Our client was directly involved in this process, even listening in and providing feedback during the recording session to ensure that the tone and delivery matched their expectations.

Graphical Updates and Final Touches

Modernizing with New Graphics

Alongside voice-over integration, SVG’s designers worked on translating and updating the graphical elements of the video.

The team developed new, modern graphics that aligned with the updated content and the client’s current branding strategy, enhancing the overall visual appeal and learner engagement.

Final Delivery and Client Satisfaction

Once all elements were integrated and the Spanish version of the training video met SVG’s high standards, it was re-authored onto a DVD.

The final product included not only the new Spanish voice-over but also refreshed music and graphics, providing a comprehensive and culturally adapted training tool.
