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.

America is facing an employment crisis. One of the major contributors to the country’s employment crisis is the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused many companies to close or lose their businesses. This, in turn, caused as many as 3.8 million workers to lose their jobs. Currently, 7.4 million Americans are unemployed. Furthermore, 1.3 million individuals were prevented from looking for jobs because of the pandemic.

Since when has learning and development (L&D) become such a negative experience with its intended learners? Could it be because learners have been conditioned by very poor learning experiences over the past two decades, combined with the kinks of technological innovation? Or is it because learning has typically been designed as a one-size-fits-all solution, despite the fact that humans are not clones?
