  1. I think OBS is the most resource-friendly recording solution. I am able to record HD videos in 30 fps on a fairly medium office machine (Windows 7, i7, integrated graphics). Though to be fair, I have zero experience using either Macs or the Mac version of OBS. The OBS forums are usually a good place to look for solutions on technical issues.

  2. As long as you don't plan to record chat alongside your lesson, chat can run separately. I'd recommend at least two screens for that purpose. If you would like to show chat whenever you address chat questions, you can simply set up another scene in OBS that also shows chat. As soon as you start using scenes, I recommend using global sources instead of simple sources (look it up in the manual). Also, defining hotkeys for scene switching is a life saver for a smooth video. Also note that scene switching basically allows you to record videos in one take without the need for ex-post-edits.

  3. I haven't tried live streaming yet, but I have considered it. A platform like Twtch would be ideal, but it is restricted to gaming. Your best hope at the moment is probably Google hangouts (free) or Adobe Connect (not free). Hangout could look somewhat like this: https://youtu.be/Okwgrsb9WUA

  4. Hardware: Computer performance aside, a good microphone should be on the top of your list. What I mean by "good" is something like this

    alongside a shock mount and proper stand. The quality of your voice transmission is the first thing people will judge you on, both positivey and negatively.

For software maybe look at Passolo or Catalyst. Haven't used either, know they're pretty popular. Maybe there's something newer, IDK

LISA is defunct but LRC is still around https://www.localisation.ie

You also want to look at Terminology Management

OAXAL was designed for this sort of thing but I don't think anyone used it much.

IRL advice -

Hire someone bilingual w/native language being + residing in the country that's the localization target (don't have a Spaniard "localize" something for the Latin American market or vice versa). What country is the target? I know people in Poland, some of the Scandanavian ones. Usually it takes a team to do this correctly. You never automate translation/localization unless it barely matters.

\> business scenarios

Fair chance some of them will be offensive, unintentionally hilarious, or just not make any sense cross-culturally. Watch out for any gestures. OK sign means "You're an a--hole," for instance in about half the world. Also, in a lot of the Islamic world male-female interactions differ and it's considered a slight to shake with the left hand rather than just mildly odd/rude like in the US. Skirt length is an issue in parts of Asia. And you have to avoid anything with kings in a few countries and bones in mainland China. Also, things in the Anglosphere that are business concerns often just aren't elsewhere, so they may just be irrelevant.

Most regulations and agencies are also nationally, so that usually will be re-done. Anything HR related should just be done locally. EU member countries on the continent (as well as some former Communist countries) have an impenetrable morass of laws that you will probably need to hire a local bureaucrat to untangle. The US has pretty much no workplace and employment laws compared to most of the first world.
