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 language is shown as English ("html lang=en"), even though the full course is in Dutch. This results in screen readers selecting the language as English instead of Dutch which causes issues in, for example, wrong pronunciation of words. To overcome this users will have to manually select a different language on their screen readers.
I am wondering whether there is some kind of way to fix this and change the source language? Anyone experience with this?
Many thanks for your help!

Hello NadineBergmann-
Thank you for sharing what your learners are experiencing with your course.
Do you know when this course was created? We implemented an update in October to allow authors to select the source course language when exporting the training.
Hi Leslie,
Thanks for your answer. I assume you mean the option to select the source course language for translation/exporting xliff-files? That I have found, but would mean that I would have to translate the whole course (whereas the course is already in the "final" language)? Or am I overseeing something?
Thanks!Hi NadineBergmann-,
The option shared by Leslie is only to help translation apps recognize the source language of the text they are translating. That option doesn't automatically translate the entire course to a different language if this is what you are asking about. You'll still need to export the translation file, have it translated by a translation app or service, and then upload it back to the Rise 360 course to translate it.
