Change HTML source language in Rise course
Dear community, We developed an e-learning in Dutch using Articulate Rise and have gotten it tested on accessibility. One of the comments on the course was that in the HTML of the course the source...
NadineBergmann : You have discovered a "bug" in how courses are published.
I just did a test in which I set the Rise Labels to German, as would be done for a course in German. Yet when I published it, it still shows html lang = "en" (indicating the page is in English). Which, as your question stated, is a problem, because a screen reader would say words based on English pronunciation instead of German.
At this point, that means you'll need to open your HTML source files with a text application, and then edit them to change the language from English to Dutch.
By the way, I would have done my testing in Dutch, but the Labels are only available in English, French, German, and Spanish.
JoseTansengco : The publishing settings should have a way to indicate the language to be used in the HTML header tag. And that should be a priority.
Judy, unfortunately if you change the html so lang="nl", once the course loads it changes back to lang="en" so editing the html in a text editor is not a solution anymore, I believe it used to be but there must have been a recent change to prevent this.
Although you could add lang="nl" to the <body> tag, it stays. But I'm not sure how this will affect translation software.
