Translating English training material is one part of localisation. VeinTrain's developing workforce approach also asks who will use the material, how it fits their setting and which local professionals should shape it.

Involve local professionals in the design

Examples, scenarios and instructions need to make sense in the intended setting. Local professional review can identify unfamiliar assumptions, differences in available equipment and wording that changes the intended clinical meaning.

That work should be planned alongside translation, with clear responsibility for checking the final version. Fluency alone is not a substitute for reviewing the content against the relevant clinical and organisational requirements.

Describe the support accurately

Localisation may draw on internal time, donated expertise or separately agreed funding. These are different arrangements. A proposed contribution must not be presented as a confirmed grant, matched contribution or sponsorship agreement.

A principle for future development

For the exploratory Ukraine work, the existing narrative proposes local language and professional involvement from the outset. It does not establish that a translated programme, funded project or recruitment route is already available.

Any resulting training would still sit alongside the applicable registration, supervision and local competency processes.
