Hey what about having the possibility to create a course with multi-language contents (video, text, labels) ? someone interested?

Our team has found a way to make multi-lingual Rise courses, although they are a bit clunkier than a multi-lingual Storyline course. It involves making copies of a course, sending those copies off for translation in the target language, and then copying the translated lessons back into the English course. We have only tried this with a maximum of three languages. For this to work, you start with Lesson 1 as a button stack. Each button leads to a different Introductory lesson in the selected language, and the learner's navigation is restricted as they progress through the lessons in their selected language. For each language, the final lesson has a button that takes the user to a quiz. The quiz contains instructions in each language that essentially says "Type YES to acknowledge that you have completed this course and understood its contents. Select START QUIZ to begin the quiz." The quiz contains multiple correct responses (the word "yes" in all three languages included in the course). There are some specific navigation settings that you have to choose for this to work. First, navigation mode must be set to Free. Then you select No Sidebar, and lesson count labels must be Off, previous and next buttons must be On.

Thanks a lot for your prompte feedback, Crystal. All right, understood. Is there any (technical) reason why the multi-language feature for Rise isn't on your near-term roadmap? According to this blog as well as other e-learning heroes communities, users were requesting that feature already 3-5 years ago. In my opinion, this would be a huge benefit for international companies. In terms of managing and maintaining eLearning modules on Articulate Rise, having only one module with different language versions would be less complex and much easier to handle (from an admin point of view).

Really need this to be a feature.

Hi Team, Do you realise how unprofessional this is, how can a large global organisation host multiple different versions of the same course on a single LMS? In my organisation I need to translate into 10+ languages. In a recent example I need a different version of a learning for each country we operate in this means we could have over 30 different versions of the same course. Please add this to your "roadmap" as a priority. N

Hi Articulate Team, is there an update to this thread? I think multi-language feature in Rise should be a priority enhancement. It will be great if you can also look at these suggestions below: Ability to change language of block labels: This will be handy in creating lessons that are displayed in a target language Ability to compress video files - If a single Rise module with videos contains all required language versions, the SCORM file size will easily exceed most LMS's file upload limit because all videos will need to be re-uploaded in each language version. This is especially true for videos that need to be in a specific language and for locations like China where video streaming services like YouTube are not accessible. Ability to choose multiple quiz blocks for completion criteria - Suppose each language section has its own quiz/test as completion criteria, it will be great if we can select multiple test blocks with OR relationship. This way regardless the language the user selects to take, he/she would get a completion mark if the test is passed. Hope this all makes sense. Thanks for your consideration. Happy to clarify anything if needed. All the best!

I'll give it a try...however, As mentioned in a previous thread, if English is shorter than another language, the longer language will not be marked as completed....and this option can only be used one time in a course, correct?

  Thanks for the follow up, Carol! When a course is tracked by completion percentage, it looks at the number of lessons complete. So even if the lessons themselves are longer due to longer text, completion will be based on whether they viewed the entire lesson.
  
  Rise 360 courses will always resume in the last lesson where the learner left off; so as long as the LMS doesn't prevent them from revisiting the course if they leave halfway through, they'll have a chance to complete!

Working for a big multinational organization I would like to emphasize the need for this development in Rise. We have a growing number of requests for multilingual Rise courses instead of Storyline ones. We don't want to create several courses for the same content. One other vote to develop this feature ASAP. Thanks

Adding my request for mutli-language inside once course. Being able to duplicate all lessons of a course within the same course and only translate the duplicated part. Then branching at the beginning to take learners to language A or B.

  Hi, I'm Julio Cesar Bonilla, it is possible to translate the texts, labels, scenarios, blocks, etc.. to any language, (not the videos) by inserting a line of code in the index.html file after downloading it for LMS or WEB, see this article: Tutorial: Dynamic Translation in Articulate Rise Courses by N R Z Malik

Is this on the roadmap yet for Rise? This is crucial for those who access the site and to keep the amount of chaos down on the side of those who manage our LMS sites. Seeing the above video looks to be something that could just be implemented from Rise fairly easy.

I am wondering if you can point me in a direction for this.

We are looking to combine our English and Spanish versions of each individual module into one module so that the LMS tracks either version as one object. The learner would choose their preferred language at the start of each module. I have been researching this topic and have not found mush on it. Any help in pointing to resources would be much appreciated.

  Has anybody validated the accuracy of this type of dynamic translation?
