Ready to share your localized training with learners? It’s never been easier than with Reach, our frictionless Learning Management System (LMS).
Reach lets you share and track e-learning that speaks every language your team does—without leaving Articulate 360.
With Reach, you can:
- Go straight from publish to distribute. No need to export, upload, and test localized courses—Reach is fully integrated with both Rise and Storyline. You can publish and share localized courses with learners in just a few clicks.
- Simplify global delivery. With Reach, you can publish every language version of a Rise course as a single file—instantly. And soon, you’ll be able to do the same with Storyline!
- Track engagement worldwide. Sharing a single, multi-language course with Reach makes it easy to view, manage, and measure learner activity at the course or language level—giving you even deeper insights.
- Empower international learners. Using Reach for multi-language courses improves the experience for learners, too. With 16 learner interface languages and counting, you’ll set everyone up for success with a learning experience that speaks their language—from the interface to the content. And with multi-language courses, there’s no wading through countless versions of the same course to find the language they need. When a course is available in their language, that version appears automatically. So easy!
Of course, if you want to share your course with another LMS, don’t worry! You can do that, too.

Publishing Multi-Language Courses to Reach
Ready to improve the online training experience for learners, authors, and admins across the globe by publishing localized courses to Reach? Let’s take a closer look at how the process works for Rise and Storyline.
Important Note: You must have Reach activated on your subscription to use this feature.
Not sure if you have Reach access? Open a course, choose Publish, and select Reach. If the publish window pops up, you have access to Reach. Otherwise, you’ll see a button to send an activation request to your Admin.

Publishing Multi-Language Courses For Your LMS
Rise
Want to publish a localized Rise course for your own LMS? No problem!
Here’s how it works:
- Choose LMS from the Publish drop-down.
- Select the languages you want to include.
- Fill out the course settings as you normally would.
- Hit Publish.
Important Note: When publishing for LMS, Rise creates a zip file containing a separate course package (also a zip file) for every language version.
