Case Study: Forbes Travel Guide Achieves 75% Localization Cost Savings with Articulate Localization

Forbes Travel Guide cuts localization costs by 75% with Articulate

Forbes Travel Guide, a global authority on luxury hospitality, faced the challenge of scaling its robust online training library across multiple languages efficiently and cost-effectively. The organization needed to localize courses for its international partner properties but found its existing external vendor approach, costing roughly $10,000 per learning plan, to be too expensive and slow to meet the volume of requests. They turned to Articulate and its Localization service to find a new strategy.

By implementing Articulate Localization, Forbes Travel Guide built a scalable, in-house translation program. This solution allowed them to translate their entire hotel curriculum into Spanish, resulting in a 75% reduction in costs and 90% time savings on translation and validation. The Articulate solution saved over $38,000 in translation costs and made it feasible to extend their world-class training to frontline workers in their native language, improving engagement and opening new markets.
