For all this, and more, e-learning gives your company the technology and solutions to reach people in different locations and time zones\u2026but why stop there? It can also help you cross linguistic barriers.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Multilingual communication is engagement<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Having English as a main corporate language allows standardised communication within an organisation, but this is not always enough; for example, when a deeper understanding of complex information is required, or when information must be assimilated quickly. Challenges such as these require a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cpsl.com\/en-GB\/service\/digital-en-gb\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">multilingual approach.<\/a> However, even as corporate MOOCs and webinars are becoming common tools in businesses, there is still resistance to using them. Why? There are many attitudes and misconceptions that play a part\u2026<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Belief that the target audience speaks English well enough<\/li>\n<li>\u201cOur corporate language is English (or other)\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Assumption that a multilingual solution is not technologically possible<\/li>\n<li>Assumption that multilingual e-learning is expensive<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These are some of the reasons why companies offer their corporate MOOCs and webinars in just one language; but the benefits of going multilingual are well-worth the effort of moving beyond your corporate comfort zone. Multilingual e-learning allows you to reach your stakeholders or employees in their own languages, communicate cultural and linguistic nuances, and thereby increase inclusion, participation, and \u2013 most importantly \u2013 engagement.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cpsl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Corporate-Elearning-blog-CPSL.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6455\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cpsl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Corporate-Elearning-blog-CPSL.png\" alt=\"orporate-Elearning blog CPSL\" width=\"577\" height=\"399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cpsl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Corporate-Elearning-blog-CPSL.png 882w, https:\/\/www.cpsl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Corporate-Elearning-blog-CPSL-300x207.png 300w, https:\/\/www.cpsl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Corporate-Elearning-blog-CPSL-768x531.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 577px) 100vw, 577px\" \/><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>The bottom line for multilingual e-learning<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Companies frequently make the mistake of believing that the English language alone is enough, but even in multilingual Europe consumers prefer information in their own language. According to the European Commission study \u201cUser Language Preferences Online\u201d, internet users in the EU always visit websites in their own language, when given the option. 63% of respondents said that they miss out on interesting information online because it is not available in their own language.<\/p>\n<p>This can be a nuisance when searching for information on the internet, but when it comes to issues like your employees\u2019 comprehension of training, employee productivity and quality of work, or how well your clients understanding new products and services that you are offering them, the effects can be far more serious.<\/p>\n<p>There are many potential losses to consider if you are offering your corporate MOOCs or webinars in just one language \u2013 and many returns on the investment of choosing multilingual format. According to the Common Sense Advisory report \u201cTranslation at Fortune 500 Companies\u201d, companies that expand their language services are 1.5 times more likely to increase their total revenue. Companies that translate or interpret information in order to communicate with their stakeholders, partners, and employees are 2.7 times more likely to generate improved profits because of it.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>\u201cIf you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.<\/strong>\u201d <\/em><strong>Nelson Mandela<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>How CPSL can help <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The days of gathering employees or other stakeholders together in a meeting room are long gone \u2013 as business becomes increasingly global in-person events are losing appeal and practicality.
