To avoid awkward and sometimes disastrous learning content, instructional designers must use authentic translation in the right context to get optimal results. For example, even a simple phrase like “got milk” translates to “are you lactating” in Mexico. Can you imagine what a straight translation might do to your course? With over 317 million people in the US and over 6.7 billion potential customers in the world, personalizing training seems logical.

The whole cycle takes about 29.5 days ( according to NASA ), and these different phases happen as the Sun lights up different parts of the moon whilst it orbits Earth.
