ONE SESSION, NOT FIVE
The trainer runs the course once for a mixed-language group instead of repeating it per language, which is usually where the training budget actually goes.

LIVE TRAINING
TRANSLATION
Professional training, workshops and certification courses, followed live by every participant in their own language, without slowing the trainer down.

In a conference, a participant who misses ten percent still leaves with the message. In training, ten percent lost is a procedure applied incorrectly, a safety step skipped, or a certification failed. Training is the format where the language barrier has the most measurable consequences.
The usual answers are expensive or ineffective. Running the same course several times in different languages multiplies trainer days. Translating the deck helps with the slides but not with the eighty percent of the value that lives in the trainer's explanations, the examples and the answers to questions.
With Glot, the trainer delivers the session once, in their own language. Participants follow with live captions in their language, which is particularly effective for technical vocabulary that is easier to read than to catch by ear.
BUILT FOR RETENTION
TECHNICAL TERMS HELD STEADY
Load a glossary of your procedures, tools and acronyms so the same term is translated the same way from the first module to the certification test.
READ AND LISTEN
Captions and voice run together. Participants who struggle with a spoken accent can read, which is exactly where technical training tends to break down.
HOW TRAINING TRANSLATION WORKS
-
Load your glossary
Add product names, internal acronyms and procedure vocabulary before the session so they are handled consistently rather than improvised.
-
Participants join from their seat
A QR code on the first slide is enough. Nothing to install, which matters when the group is on a client site or a factory floor.
-
Teach as usual
The trainer speaks naturally, uses the whiteboard and answers questions. Participants follow live in any of 60+ languages and ask questions in their own.
WHAT MULTILINGUAL TRAINING NORMALLY COSTS
Training budgets are usually consumed by repetition rather than by content. Comparing the options makes that visible.
| Approach | Strength | Limitation |
|---|---|---|
| Repeat the course per language | Native delivery each time | Trainer days multiply; a five-language rollout is five times the delivery cost |
| Translate the slides only | Cheap | Covers the deck, not the explanations, examples and answers where the learning is |
| Bring an interpreter | Human, adaptive | Rarely affordable for a recurring internal curriculum |
| E-learning in each language | Scales well | Loses the trainer, the questions and everything specific to the group in the room |
| Glot | One live session for a mixed group | Requires a glossary to keep technical terms stable |
ONE SAFETY MODULE, SIX NATIONALITIES
A manufacturer runs a mandatory safety certification for maintenance teams across its European sites. The course lasts a day and a half and is delivered in English by two internal trainers.
The pass rate is fine. The problem shows up in the audits: procedures applied slightly wrong, and technicians who admit they followed the demonstration rather than the explanation. That is a comprehension gap, not a competence gap, and repeating the course in five languages would take the training team out of action for weeks.
Delivered through Glot, the trainer runs it once for the whole mixed group. A technician in Poland reads the torque procedure in Polish while watching the demonstration, and asks a clarifying question in Polish that the trainer answers in English. The recap downloaded at the end of the session then serves as revision material before the certification test.
SETTING UP TRAINING TRANSLATION
-
Load the glossary first
Procedure names, tool references, internal acronyms and safety terminology. In training this is not optional, because inconsistent terminology is exactly what causes errors.
-
Use a lapel or handheld microphone
Trainers move, point at equipment and turn away from the room. A worn microphone keeps quality steady while they do.
-
Put the QR code on the first slide
And leave it up during the break. Latecomers join without interrupting the session.
-
Plan for the written recap
Glot produces a downloadable recap at the end of the session. Decide in advance who downloads it and whether participants receive it as revision material, because it is not retained once the session closes.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Yes. Participants follow on their own phone, so it works in a workshop, a factory or a training room, not only in a lecture theatre with a fixed AV setup.
Yes. Questions picked up by the microphone are translated for the room, so a participant can ask in their language and the trainer answers in theirs.
You provide a glossary before the session. Product names, acronyms and procedure terms are then transcribed and translated consistently throughout the course.
Glot produces a written recap you can download at the end of the session and hand out as revision material. Download it before closing the session, since nothing is stored afterwards.
It is used to make training comprehensible, and the recap you download at the end of the session gives a record of what was delivered. Whether that satisfies a specific certification body depends on their own rules, so check the requirement that applies to you.
Yes. Remote participants join the same session through the same link, so a blended cohort does not require a separate delivery.
No. They speak their own language at their own pace. The main adjustment is supplying the glossary in advance and using a worn microphone.
You can download the written recap at the end of the session and distribute it as revision notes.
