Breaking Down Language Barriers with Languages Unlock: Empowering Global Teams Through Multilingual Learning

Imagine this: you’re trying to absorb critical training in a language that’s not your own. It can be a problem for your team. 

For many employees in today’s global workplace, learning exclusively in one language can be a barrier. 

That’s where Languages Unlock comes in—offering accessible, high-quality multilingual learning in Brazilian Portuguese, Latin American Spanish, French, Italian, and German. 

We’ve expanded our elearning course library language options; Languages Unlock transforms learning into a tool for engagement, retention, and inclusivity.

Building on our extensive elearning library we’ve developed our own localisation team to update and expand our library. Having translated courses in Latin American Spanish, Simplified Chinese and more we’ve launched Languages Unlock our courses to more people.

Why Learning in Your Native Language Matters

Languages Unlock is here to meet this need, delivering learning that’s accessible, impactful, and culturally relevant.

Not only have we translated over 100 of courses in this first phase of the project we’ve updated our interface, with new visuals and improved accessibility for all. 

The Vision: Making Learning Personal and Relevant

Languages Unlock began with a straightforward vision: to empower global teams through training that resonates. “Supporting our customers with custom language projects showed us the need in our elearning library,” says Scott Hewitt, “We assembled a team of experts across languages to make sure our courses connect culturally.”

Each course goes beyond translation—it’s carefully adapted to reflect cultural nuances. Now, with over 100 courses in six languages, Languages Unlock supports companies with diverse, international teams.

Behind the Scenes: Our Team of Experts

Creating Languages Unlock required a team of skilled translators, subject matter experts, and instructional designers. Our courses have been translated, checked and developed by our team of translation experts. 

This approach ensures the learning experience feels natural and culturally aligned for every learner. Scott explains, “Our team worked through each course to incorporate regional idioms, norms, and cultural insights.”

Why Languages Unlock is a Strategic Choice for Businesses

Beyond inclusivity, language-specific training is a smart business decision. Here’s why:

  • Enhanced Engagement: Learning in a familiar language increases retention and satisfaction.
  • Supports Diversity & Inclusion: Multilingual learning demonstrates a commitment to diverse teams, promoting inclusivity.
  • Boosts Knowledge Retention and Application: Learning in one’s native language leads to higher comprehension and productivity.

What’s Next for Languages Unlock?

We’re committed to meeting the evolving needs of our clients. Scott shares, “Our strong team and process set us up to expand the library, adding hundreds of courses across languages.” This commitment ensures our content stays relevant to today’s business needs.

The success of Languages Unlock reflects the dedication of our translators, experts, and designers, whose attention to detail made high-quality learning in five languages a reality.

Thank you to our clients for supporting this vision. We look forward to helping you empower teams and drive results through language-inclusive training.
