Translate a training video and keep the instruction

A regional operations director at a commercial cleaning company has an approved chemical handling video in English and 120 team members who work primarily in Spanish. Machine translations she tried elsewhere rendered the dilution ratio as a phrase nobody uses. She needs narration and subtitles in Spanish that keep the procedure exact, with a reviewer who knows the work.

A translated draft adapts narration and subtitles while keeping procedural meaning and source references.

• The director selects the reviewed video in Creation Studio, sets the target locale to Spanish for the United States, and attaches the bilingual glossary from Company Knowledge.
• Elvina produces a translated draft with narration, subtitles and on-screen labels, keeping source references and timestamps aligned to the original.
• A bilingual site supervisor reviews the draft, corrects three terms to match what crews actually say, and confirms the dilution instruction.
• The director assigns the Spanish version to the Spanish-speaking group in the Learning Platform, alongside the English original.

A fictional company, ClearPath Facility Services, uses a 9-minute video, Chemical-Dilution-Basics, approved by its safety manager. The glossary lists product names, the ratio format and the phrase for personal protective equipment. The reviewer is a supervisor who has led Spanish-speaking crews for eight years.

• The Spanish draft kept every timestamp, so the label overlays still matched the pour shown on screen.
• Three glossary terms were adjusted by the supervisor, including the everyday word crews use for the mixing station.
• The safety manager confirmed that the translated procedure matched the English one step for step.

Check timing, terminology and local applicability. Translation is not approval of different local legal or safety requirements.

• Narration timing fits the original scenes without speeding up or truncating steps.
• Terminology matches the glossary and the words your crews use on site.
• Procedural meaning, quantities and warnings are identical to the approved source.
• A qualified reviewer for the target language signed off before assignment.

Translating a video does not make its instructions valid in another jurisdiction; labeling rules or safety requirements can differ by state or country, and Elvina does not check that. A fluent speaker who knows the work reviews every localized draft. Translation is not a substitute for the source owner's approval of the underlying procedure.
