AI-translated onboarding videos
Subtitling a training video is a literal translation; it's not the same as making it land the way it does for a native speaker. This playbook delivers the same onboarding content in 11+ languages with lip-sync and cultural framing adjustments, not just word-for-word captions.
Start with your best existing video
Pick your strongest current onboarding video as the source - translation quality depends on starting from clear, well-paced content.
Choose target languages by actual need
Use your current and recent hiring data to prioritize languages your workforce actually speaks, not a generic top-10 list.
Review with a native speaker, not just the AI
Have someone fluent check the translated version for tone and clarity before rolling it out - AI translation can miss idioms or context.
Worth knowing
Cultural framing differences matter most in sections about hierarchy, feedback, and customer interaction norms - these vary more across cultures than safety or procedural content does.
