Case Study: Pathfinder improves public health training comprehension with Language Connections

Pathfinder improves training comprehension across 36 countries with Language Connections

Language Connections provided training curriculum translation services for Pathfinder, an international non-profit focused on public health. The challenge was to translate and localize sensitive sexual and reproductive health training materials from English into Portuguese and French for use across multiple African countries. This required precise handling of medical terminology and cultural nuances to ensure the materials remained pedagogically effective and credible for local healthcare providers.

The solution involved Language Connections assembling a team of linguists with public health and local cultural expertise. They executed a comprehensive process including translation, localization, back-translation, and quality assurance to guarantee accuracy and consistency. As a result, Language Connections delivered the high-quality translations on schedule. Pathfinder reported improved comprehension and engagement during the training sessions conducted using the translated curriculum.
