In the US, it’s estimated that 1 out of 4 students don’t speak English at home — and many others don’t speak it natively. Over the last two decades, eLearning has emerged as one of the biggest markets in the education industry. Predicted to be valued at $325 billion by 2025, the eLearning industry has grown by over 900% since 2000 - and this growth isn’t slowing down any time soon.

Your company has probably mastered your customer journey…in English. But what about your global customers who don’t speak English as their first language? Are their experiences on par with those within your borders? If the answer is no, your brand needs a transnational strategy to improve the customer experience.
In today’s digitally-connected world, the key to multinational success is localization. In fact, nearly 90% of companies believe Global Experience (GX) is a priority for them within their target markets. And in order to meet these growing demands, it’s extremely important to be able to build and scale an efficient global experience program. However, scaling your program into new markets and languages can be a heavy, expensive lift. And with so many new technologies and platforms in the market, it can be hard to identify which localization tools are worth investing your time and capital in. To help, we’ve compiled a list of three scalable, cost-saving technologies that will successfully ready your global teams and localization campaigns.

In order to reach them, companies are prioritizing localized experiences more than ever before. In fact, nearly 90% of companies believe global experiences are a priority for them within their target markets.
