Localisation an Custom Blocks
I'm at a loss. At first, I thought it was because something was wrong with the links in the translations—some texts from the custom blocks are translated, some are not. I have translated 11 languages here, and even though we have invested in localization, I have to maintain everything manually. And even if I maintain the languages manually and translate the text that was not maintained in Chinese into Chinese, it is for example also in Chinese in Polish.
Has anyone else had this problem? How did you solve it?

Hi BiancaRhrlinger,
Sorry to hear you've run into these setbacks when localizing a Rise 360 course.
Currently, Custom Blocks are not supported by Articulate Localization. Any changes made to a Custom Block in a target language will also apply to the source language and others from that course. For now, authors must follow the manual translation process, which involves creating a copy of the target language(s) as a separate course outside of the course's multi-language stack.
However, we do understand that maintaining all of this content manually can feel cumbersome. I'm happy to share that Custom Block Localization is an upcoming feature on our product roadmap! I've included your voice in that feature report so we can notify you as soon as it becomes available.
Please let me know if you need anything else!
Hearing that is not at all satisfying for me, given that we bought credits for thousands of euros to translate our course - we developed in the last half year - into 20 languages.
