Conclusion / Lessons learnt
• Collaborative approach to translation within the refinement workshop worked very well
• List of terms (standard in translation projects)• Using a mixture of Hindi and English as appropriate
where it is common parlance• Table of changes• Checking platform works in language and put in place
support where needed• Use note pad not word• Use what sort of fonts Unicode• Language packs and the sort of support needed to
address this
21
Process detail
• What we can change in edX and what we couldn’t change – Didn’t have language packs so buttons and
support all were in English and other standard text ie:subscribe to mailing list and registration
– Approvals process– Just noticed the notice on this is an archived
course is in English. – Use note pad not word– Use what sort of fonts Unicode
• Translation process– The consultative process and multiple checkpoints
for QA (worked well)– Had to work in hard copy was an issue.

TESS-India Aims to support trajectories of professional competence which bring specified policy aims and curriculum into the enacted and experienced curriculum in classrooms and lecture halls (sites of learning). • OER are means to enable participation in the practices of teaching
and learning.• Engage teachers in a dialogue within practice involving :
– planning learning activities– carrying out learning activities– draw on evidence from the outcomes of these activities
• to develop a discourse about pedagogy and learning in and beyond curriculum topics exemplified in the OER.
