Did You See? Mandarin Subtitles Are Live for Innovus Training—Here’s Your Start

I don't speak many languages, but I happily watch web series in different languages. Do you know how?

I believe many of us do the same, and we all know the answer: it's with the help of subtitles. They help us to watch any series or movie to understand them easily in our preferred language. Keeping this in mind, what if we expanded the idea of adding subtitles in different languages to online courses? Recently, the Innovus Block Implementation with Stylus Common UI course has added Mandarin subtitles, along with a downloadable transcript, which is also in Mandarin (as shown in the video below). This blog is your Starter Pack to switch on captions, leverage the transcripts, jump into the right modules, and use a handy glossary to bridge English  Mandarin terminology.

As we know, Mandarin is spoken by a large portion of the global engineering talent pool. Many teams across Mainland China, Taiwan, and beyond operate bilingually, thinking and discussing complex technical topics in Mandarin while reading tool documentation in English. These subtitles and transcripts will bridge that gap in real time.

How Will Mandarin Subtitles Help You Learn (and Deliver) Better?

Many ways the Mandarin subtitles and transcript will help in real time while learning this course, some of them are listed below:

1. Anchor complex ideas faster: Reading along with audio clarifies layered concepts—like floorplanning tradeoffs, PDN strategies, or route optimization
2. Make technical terms stick: Subtitles help you identify and remember key terms like "hold fix," "macro placement," "layer assignment," and "timing closure," ensuring your notes capture them accurately.
3. Learn anywhere—quietly or on the go: Subtitles make learning possible and discreet anywhere—on the factory floor, in an open office, or while commuting—no headphones or perfect audio needed.
4. Better retention through dual coding: Seeing and hearing information together boosts recall for procedures, leading to faster onboarding and fewer re-watches.
5. Boost collaboration across languages: Cross-border teams align faster with shared, clear references. Subtitles reduce ambiguity, allowing focus on design decisions.

"In summary, you can spend less time figuring out the phrasing and more time practicing the skill."

Whether you're mastering synthesis, floorplanning, placement, clock tree synthesis (CTS/CCOpt), routing, or timing closure in Innovus, and if you speak Mandarin, this course is designed for you to learn, featuring recorded lectures and hands-on labs.

After completing this course, you will be able to:

• Synthesize your design and floorplan your design
• Place the standard cells and blocks in the design
• Run power planning, power routing, and power analysis
• Analyze routing congestion and Extract parasitics and generate timing reports
• Create clock trees and Optimize and close timing
• Analyze how to optimize routing with technology (LEF) and design files
• Route critical nets with shielding and spacing
• Edit wires using the interactive wire editor
• Analyze and fix routing violations
• Report and fix timing and signal integrity violations
• Implement an engineering change order (ECO)

How to Enroll?

1. Click the datasheet link of the course Innovus Block Implementation with Stylus Common UI.
2. From the datasheet, click on Online Courses, select the 25.1M version, and enroll.
3. This will take you to ask.cadence.com – Log in with your credentials.
4. Enroll again on the course page (shown below in the registration highlight) to start learning the course.

You can also enroll in it by going to the site (ask.cadence.com) – Select Learning – Choose Online Courses – choose the Innovus Block Implementation with Stylus Common UI v25.1 (Online -Mandarin).

Along with the above updates, there is one major update this year that has been made to all courses: Accelerated Learning. This will help users personalize their learning according to their learning gaps.

After you have enrolled in the course, you need to choose from the page below Accelerated Learning, which takes you to the pre-quiz, and according to your results, the remaining content will be enabled for you. However, you can always watch the full content with the Full learning path option.

There is also a Digital Badge available for the training.

Genus Online Course is also enabled in Mandarin; you can find more details in this blog post: "Lights, Camera, Subtitles! Genus Training Just Got a Mandarin Makeover"
