What a Localization Team Needs Besides the Video File
A course video can be playable but still impossible to localize safely. Use a source-package handoff that records editable inputs, boundaries and acceptance.

What must change beyond translation?
Direct answer
Localize the workflow, examples, tool dependencies, delivery and proof—not only the words on screen.

Pillar Guide
A course video can be playable but still impossible to localize safely. Use a source-package handoff that records editable inputs, boundaries and acceptance.
Platform / Channel Dossier
A China-facing AI-agent workshop needs more than translated prompts. Define a task, observable evidence, failure condition, and retest trigger.
Comparison / Playbook
Do not translate an archive first. Select one China learning object using five filters: learner question, action, editable source, reviewable version and test.
Subtitles, AI dubbing and Chinese re-recording are different release artifacts. Choose the layer that must survive the lesson.
Captions, interpretation and facilitation solve different moments in a live China cohort. Assign each role before choosing a tool.
Before reusing an AI-assisted course asset in China, preserve its origin, edits, labels, metadata, version, and publishing decisions in one release record.
Tool / Checklist
Before translating an AI course, create bilingual scenario cards with a role, source material, task, constraints and reviewable output.
A China course continuity pack is not a backup folder. Track each asset, owner and recovery path before a person, tool or platform changes.
A China course card is not just copy. Assign an owner, source, change right and review trigger to every public field before a course pilot.
Do not use one AI tool page, a live demonstration and learner outcomes as the same proof. A four-column evidence table makes each claim reviewable.
AI summaries can suggest actions. A consulting decision record must preserve owners, confirmation status, conditions and unresolved questions.
Separate Bilibili course update communication from version records when a China-facing course changes tools, examples or modules.
A working MCP screenshot is not a transferable lesson. Separate the capability, service, access, cost, test evidence, and stop condition before adapting a course for China.
Before translating a course for China, use this readiness checklist to decide whether its scope, approvals, asset route and test plan are ready to start.

Case / Evidence
A workflow template shows nodes and outputs. A teachable method also needs assumptions, judgment points, failure paths and a reviewable learner output.
Uploading course documents to a knowledge base can make text retrievable. It does not design the learner task, evidence or feedback loop a course needs.
Old videos and newsletters are not automatically assets. Use a five-part inventory test to find material worth turning into products or market tests.
AI makes explanations cheap. See where expert value moves instead: judgment, evidence, responsibility, adaptation and rights.
