Translation and AI: Understanding the Options for Global Training


Listen Later

Artificial intelligence has made translation faster and more accessible than ever, but it isn’t the right solution for every learning project. Interpro Translation Solutions’ Nicholas Strozza, CEO, and Beshar Bahjat, Chief Technology Officer discuss how AI is changing translation, where human expertise remains essential, and what L&D leaders should consider when creating equitable learning experiences for multilingual audiences.

Show Notes:

Nicholas Strozza and Beshar Bahjat of Interpro Translation Solutions discuss the evolving role of AI in translation, the difference between translation and localization, and how organizations can balance speed, cost, quality, and learner experience when delivering training across languages. Key points include:

  • Translation and localization are not the same thing. Translation converts content from one language to another, while localization adapts the entire learner experience—including language variations, imagery, audio, cultural references, and regional preferences.
  • AI is a powerful starting point, not always a finished product. For many projects, AI can accelerate translation, but human review remains critical when accuracy, brand reputation, compliance, or learner safety are at stake.
  • The right approach depends on your goals. Organizations should evaluate audience, content type, language, risk level, and long-term translation needs before deciding how much AI or human involvement is appropriate.
  • Learning equity matters. Learners who speak another language deserve the same high-quality experience as English-speaking learners. Poor translations can negatively impact comprehension, engagement, accessibility, and training outcomes.
  • Human expertise remains essential in the age of AI. Professional linguists increasingly serve as reviewers, editors, and quality experts who ensure translated content reflects local language, culture, terminology, and organizational standards.
