Issue with languages on images - text translation
I have a Rise course that is in English and I used the new Articulate Localization/translation service to have it translated into Italian, and that part is fine. What is NOT fine, however, is that, throught the course are images that have text on them (see attached), that I assumed would translate with the rest of the course.
I understand that the text on the images does not translate, so I had the text on those images translated separately - WITHIN Rise, in some instances...and each time I replaced the pictures in the Italian version with pictures that had Italian text, the images in the original English were also replaced with the now-Italian text versions. So, either my pictures are forced to be in Italian, even on the English version, or they are forced to be in English, even on the Italian version.
How can we fix this? I have to have this translated into German, French and Spanish, too, so how do I ensure that those versions have the appropriately imaged pictures? Do I have to make a separate module for each different language?
Screenshots included are one of the images - the original English, then in Italian. Also a screenshot that shows the English module with the images in Italian, when they should be in English.

Definitely possible with ai, you'd be amazed what you can do to images. I ran a test in ChatGPT converting the Italian to English. Looks pretty good.

HI Phil - I actually did try this. But the issue I ran into was having that translated image showing up in both the English and Italian versions. 😭

Hey PetraDeLuca LindaAbboud I'm sorry to hear you've run into this. You should be able to replace images, videos, and files across multi-language Rise courses. When you're editing the course, ensure you're in the target language version (e.g. Italian) before you replace the image. Can you try that and let me know if it works?
You can find more information on what is and isn't localized here!

Hi! Thanks for the quick response!
This is exactly what I did. In the target language course, I upload translated image. When I return to the source course, the image is now showing the target language. I want the source course to have the source language image and the target language course to have the target language image. However, the system seems to mirror the last updated image across the languages. Please help!
Edit: I am happy to share the link/SCORM file/etc. if needed.

I saw this same issue. How can we ensure that the translated versions have translated images?
