Artificial Intelligence (AI) plays a vital role in revolutionizing the language operations industry. It has become significantly easy to translate one language to another with AI. No more hassles and laborious work one has to go through to translate documentaries, books, movies, and more.
But AI itself is not enough. Without human intelligence, AI lacks preciseness and sometimes sentiment. It is only due to experts that AI translations become fruitful. AI can miss the errors that the human mind cannot. Therefore, human touch stands crucial while translating and dubbing.
How LinkedIn Learning bloomed?
LinkedIn, a name that resonates globally today, has a family of 810 million members spread across over 200 countries and territories. The platform has grown massive today, and there is hardly anyone who is not on Linkedin from the technology world trying to create a presence online.
LinkedIn made an annual revenue of over $8.05 billion in 2021 alone, serving as a platform for people to find jobs, create a community, open forums, conduct seminars, and more. And now, it educates its users with its LinkedIn Learning platform, originally Lynda.com, which it acquired in 2015 before LinkedIn became a company of Microsoft in 2016.
With LinkedIn Learning, young entrepreneurs, enthusiasts, or someone looking for assistance, can self-educate themselves using the service.

With the flexibility of hours and expert guidance at hand, one can study, learn and grow comfortably in a stress-free way.
These video collections serve as one's digital library -- exposing one to the wealth of knowledge, tricks and tactics to survive in the competitive world.
A language hiccup, a barrier that LinkedIn Learning needs to address!
But there is a hiccup here. While LinkedIn is available in 25 different languages globally and LinkedIn Learning offers video content in seven languages - namely Simplified Chinese, French, Spanish, German, Portugues, Japanese, and English - not all of its content is available in all these languages. The videos are mainly in English, with no subtitles available in other languages for many of them, making it extremely difficult for those who are not native English speakers to opt for courses on LinkedIn Learning and make the best of it.
Though users can find some of the videos in the above-said languages, support is not available in the form of subtitles. Despite the phenomenal courses and online support offered by experts, non-native speakers sometimes find it hard to make the best use of the LinkedIn Learning platform.
Here is an example of how Ollang translated a LinkedIn Learning video into Japanese.
To enable support for visually impaired individuals and perhaps ones who are on-the-go, AI-Dubbing is also an option to aid in the glocalisation of content. With this, individuals can now then hear the content delivered instead of having to read subtitles.
The crisp translation can do wonders in connecting the world even closer, with fewer hassles and ensuring more productivity.
Ollang can help bridge the language gap!
Ollang Media Technologies can provide access to LinkedIn Learning expert videos by providing subtitling, AI-powered dubbing, and translation with a human touch.
Having successfully translated TV series, such as "Beni Affet," to Spanish and other languages, providing support to news channels and more, Ollang offers quality-based translations in 15+ languages as quickly as possible.
LinkedIn Learning can make use of Ollang's translation services; from subtitling to even AI-Dubbing. Shooting videos from scratch for every single video in different languages by local instructors are expensive, but subtitling content makes the process cost-effective as there would be no need for the client to then have to pay external contractors to repeatedly make videos in different languages, and this is more practical for reaching audiences globally in the shortest time possible as well. In the case of AI-Dubbing, while traditional dubbing may incur several extra costs, AI-Dubbing and the system already in place with Ollang eliminates said costs, while also providing a wide range of voice placements available.
As a data-driven company, Olllang’s AIs have database-level knowledge that can process similar words and phrases at a much quicker rate than using manual translation. The video can initially be accurately transcribed and closed captions could be made at the same time. This would allow for LinkedinLearning to share transcripts that users can always refer back to without always having to watch the video again. In addition, closed captions have also been proven to aid hearing-impaired individuals to still have access to the content. Killing two birds with one stone - this would segment easily to the next step. Further translation and subtitling, as well as dubbing to various languages, could then be easily done. Not only would these videos now be available in one language, but now over thirty.
Today, translation has brought the cultures around the globe together; we can now understand each other and enhance ourselves in different ways thanks to translations, subtitling, and dubbing, which have helped to shorten the language gap.

This human touch refers to how every project will not only then be handled with the efficiency of cutting edge technology, but be checked against consummated professionals in each language. Despite advancements having driven far, there are still some aspects that will require fine-tuning that can only be done by the human mind. Ollang assures not only quality, yet also precision in its services to make sure that what is produced will always meet up to the client’s standards.in bringing their voice into the world stage.
