Frequently asked questions

Do I need any prior knowledge to start the LE course?

  • While it's not strictly required, being familiar with basic localization terminology helps a lot. If you're new to the field, consider checking out our LPM course preview or our educational content on YouTube.

Do I have to know any programming language?

  • Absolutely not! This is a common misconception that localization engineers need to code. They don't... although having some programming background certainly helps.

What software or tools are needed for the course?

  • You'll be introduced to several tools in the course, and we'll guide you through each. All tools are either free or offer a free trial. However, many are Windows-specific, so ensure you have access to one.

I have a Mac. Can I still participate?

  • Absolutely! If you have a Mac, one solution is to use Boot Camp to install Windows on your machine. Alternatively, you can consider borrowing a friend's Windows PC or using a work computer.

What CAT tool or TMS do you use for the course?

  • We use one of the most popular CAT tools from RWS, Trados Studio, and for software localization, we have a few licenses for Passolo.

What is the course format?

  • If you've ever taken a Udemy course, you'll feel at home. You will encounter structured video lessons and assignments. We also have a community platform on Discord where you can engage with other students and instructors.

I’m working/studying. Will I have time for this?

  • Absolutely. We've recently made the course fully self-paced, so you can take as much time as you need to get through the lessons and do your assignments. There's no expiration date on your access to the course.

Can my company pay for the course?

  • Absolutely! Your company can use their credit or debit card to pay for your course. Please don't forget to enter your company's tax information during checkout on Stripe. You'll get an invoice and a receipt right after making the purchase.

Do you issue a certificate for completing the course?

  • Yes, our courses come with certification (see sample). But you'll need to earn it by submitting the final assignment. Watching the videos is not enough... you're in this to learn something, right? 😉

Will I be able to get a job with your certificate?

  • We don't guarantee that you'll get a job right at the end of your course. There are many factors that affect whether you get hired or not. 
  • Our main goal is to help you discover what it's like to work as a localization engineer and give you an advantage when looking for a job.
