Cultural Consultation

Culture shades the way we see the world, and the way we express ourselves. It goes beyond language into imagery, context, and symbolism that can either support or impede your training objectives. Andovar has the global mindset, regional resources and specialized knowledge to help you identify and adapt culturally inappropriate materials for improved acceptance by audiences worldwide.

Voice-over, Lip-sync & Subtitling

General eLearning Localization Process

Integrating Localized Content

Andovar's localization engineers, desktop publishing experts and Flash development specialists have years of expe-rience working with all kinds of interactive media. In addition to various encoded content formats, our specialists have experience working in Adobe Flash, Adobe Presenter, Lectora, Captivate, Camtasia, Articulate Storyline, and many more.

Video Production & Localization

Andovar specializes in localizing video content no matter how complex, whether it is subtitling interviews, lip-sync dubbing of training scenario videos in multiple languages or re-creating complex text animations in new languages created with After Effects or 3D programs.

Andovar also provides full video production and post production services for localizing video, such as sign language or video production with regionally oriented live-action characters, either on location or shot against a green screen. We provide a flexible solution for production of both corporate and creative based projects.

Repurposing of Legacy Content

Across campaigns or accounts, most eLearning practices leverage pre-existing assets – whether by word, module or interface – to work more efficiently and to capitalize on your online style of instruction. Most commonly, we receive requests for updating Flash-based courses using HTML5 technology or for converting legacy content on CD/DVD-ROM to modern formats. Andovar’s localization engineers and rich media specialists have developed a sophisticated workflow that enables our customers to leverage learning assets across any number of languages. Our technology, combined with the expertise of our team, delivers significant cost savings while enhancing consis-tency and quality.

The Andovar Advantage

Andovar is a global provider of multilingual content solutions. Our services range from text translation and content creation, through audio and video recording, to turnkey localization of websites, software, eLearning, video and games. Our headquarters is in Singapore, and offices in Thailand, Colombia, USA and India.

We started in Southeast Asia, with Western ownership and management. Placing production in low-cost countries has allowed us to offer more competitive pricing, while keeping quality at the highest international level. Andovar focuses on emerging markets and technologies, such as mobile, gaming, multimedia and cloud software. Emerging markets are the new frontier in localization and where others struggle with complex scripts and lack of standards, Andovar has the expertise to succeed.

We are a medium-sized company that is small enough to be agile and adaptable, yet big enough to handle projects of any size. While others try to automate everything and make localization a play-by-numbers game, Andovar creates customized solutions for each client to meet their needs and budgets. Andovar is employee-owned, and everyone has a stake in our clients’ success.

We do not sell any software solutions and we use the latest technology ourselves, which allows us to give impartial advice to our clients. A wide range of professional talent from across the world coupled with our own audio studios means we are a one-stop-shop for all localization projects regardless of size, type and languages required.

This is how we help our clients Make Themselves Clear in Any Language.
