Translating your H5P e-Learning content to multiple languages in seconds

Interactive learning has become an essential part of modern education and professional training. From interactive videos and quizzes to presentations and branching scenarios, H5P enables educators and organisations to create engaging digital learning experiences that actively involve learners rather than simply presenting information.

As digital learning reaches international audiences, language becomes one of the biggest challenges. Educational institutions, training providers, NGOs and organisations involved in European projects often need to deliver the same learning content in multiple languages. Translating H5P content requires significant manual effort making localisation both time-consuming and expensive.

Here comes our H5PTranslate Web tool, to simplify this process by providing a fast and intuitive way to translate H5P content while preserving the original interactive structure in full.

What is H5PTranslate?

H5PTranslate is a web-based service where you can upload any .h5p file, choose from a large set of target languages and translate its content automatically, while leaving every interactive element, media file and piece of formatting intact, exactly where it was. The translated .h5p file is ready to download in few seconds.

A very important feature is that the imported and the translated files are NOT stored anywhere. They are immediately deleted after downloading and leaving the page, unless you explicitly ask to keep it for 1 hour to find it little later. We take intellectual property ownership very seriously!

Why this matters for e-learning teams

Anyone who has tried to translate H5P files manually knows the pain points: re-entering text across dozens of interaction fields, the risk of accidentally breaking an interactive element and the sheer time cost of doing it all again for a second, third or fourth language.

H5PTranslate removes all three pains at once:

• Speed: a full translation completes in under a minute, not hours;
• Structure preservation: interactive elements, media and formatting remain untouched, only the text is translated;
• Wide language coverage: over 70 languages and regional variants, so a single course can scale across an entire multilingual audience.

For organisations delivering training across different countries, this turns multilingual e-learning content from a costly bottleneck into a same-day task.

See it in action: English to Greek in seconds

Numbers are one thing; watching it happen is another. The video accompanying this article shows the full process end-to-end: a real English-language H5P file uploaded, translated into Greek and downloaded - ready to use - within seconds.

How it works

1. Upload your .h5p file and choose your target language.
2. Translate - the system processes your content, translating all text fields, while preserving every interactive element.
3. Download your translated H5P file, ready to drop straight into your LMS or website.

Simple, pay-as-you-go pricing

There are no subscriptions and no hidden fees. You top up credits and spend them based on text length (i.e., 1 credit per 1000 characters to be translated) – more characters will use more credits, less characters will use less, and unused credits will simply stay in your account. The size of the file does not strictly matter, number of text characters do.

Built on what we already know

Our team's experience in digital accessibility, assistive technologies and e-learning project delivery is exactly what shaped a tool that treats interactive content translation as a structural problem, not just a text-swapping one. Getting this right matters just as much for accessibility as it does for language reach: a translated course that breaks its interactivity is no longer accessible to the learners it was built for.

Try it yourself

Whether you're localising a single course or an entire training catalogue across languages, H5PTranslate is built to make it fast, safe and affordable.
