Multilanguage player on 1 scorm

We need to create a multilingual project in a single SCORM. We have a problem with the player, is there any way (changing code, using Javascript...), that depending on the language selected by a student when starting the course (by pressing a button), the language of the player can be changed?

Thanks

  • Hello Anna,

    Happy to help!

    There isn't a way right now to change the language of the Player labels after a course has been published, but you can check out some possible workarounds that might help by checking out this article:

    You'll want to check out the 'Additional Considerations' section for tips on how to design a course whose labels need to be in a different language. 

    Hope this helps!

      This should be done for all Articulate messages. For example, when a person submits an unanswered question and the warning message appears, or if we want to give the option to continue or restart the course when reopening the SCORM package.

  • Here's the best solution I've seen for translated courses:

    • Create a separate source (.story file or Rise project) for each language.
    • Publish each as a SCORM package.
    • Have someone with the proper coding skills wrap all those packages into one big SCORM package, with a starting page that allows the user to select a language. Unfortunately, I don't have any recommendations about who does that sort of programming. Perhaps someone else will chime in with suggestions. 

    Another option I've seen also involves publishing a separate SCORM package for each language. Those are then bundled into a curriculum within an LMS, with the settings adjusted so that the user only has to complete one of the courses to finish the curriculum. Of course, being able to do this depends on the LMS.

    Thank you very much.
    We knew about these two solutions. We are looking for an alternative solution.
