About Babbel
Edtech company Babbel offers a fun and convenient alternative to traditional language lessons with its interactive language learning app and live classes. Writing, reading, listening, and speaking are all integral to Babbel’s curriculum, which has been praised by students and professional critics alike. The company is approaching its 15th anniversary this year and does not look to be slowing down any time soon.
TL;DR
Localization team members may come from a linguistic background, but their roles at Babbel go beyond translation, localization, and transcreation. Marketing copywriting and localization are handled within the same team, ensuring that messaging across all touchpoints is consistent, relevant for the target audience and highly localized.
A team of freelancers supports Babbel’s localization program when the workload exceeds the internal team’s capacity.
Inclusive language is a priority for Babbel, which means it is top-of-mind for the localization team.
