Is it possible to include several languages in one course or do I have to create a separate course for each language? I can do this in Storyline by creating a separate scene for each language but don't see how it's possible in Rise. Maybe this is documented somewhere but I couldn't find it.

Hi Loredana! If you want to have all the languages available in a Rise course, you can create different sections in a course for each language and create a menu using a button stack to navigate to the selected language. Here’s a sample course that I created with this concept. The text labels in your course, however, will only be in one language. To track completion for this, you'll want to make sure that each language content will have the exact same number of lessons, then use the option Track using course completion. The percentage you use will be based on the number of languages used in your course. For example, 25% for 4 languages, 20% for 5 languages, etc. I hope this helps!

Hi Scott, As Alyssa rightly points out, your biggest problem with having multiple languages in one course is the labelling, which will only ever be in one language. If you want to make it all look like one course, an option you do have is to set your course up with just a single Button Stack block as an Introduction. This would have the introduction to the course in all the different languages that you wish to use and then, through web links attached to each button, the user would be directed to their language of choice. From your point of view, you would set up each language in a separate course, complete with appropriately translated labelling, but, from a user perspective, it would appear as if they had opened a single, multi language course.

I am using Success Factors. I only linked to the other Rise Course, but the exit course button didn't work and there was not a way I could think of to link back to the course that I exported for the LMS. Have you had success with this?

Julie I just got 1/2 way there until I realized that my solution (an index.html page with language selection) works for the initially-selected language, but if the user decides to switch languages upon a subsequent launch, the bookmarking/tracking prevents other languages from launching - blank page. This appears to be tied to the LMS bookmarking feature going 'with' the selected language package and not sitting at the root. With Storyline, I could have multiple languages in a single package and switch between them seamlessly with the bookmarking feature. Rise structure is different and I just haven't gotten far enough to figure out where my issue is - I think some assets need to be moved to the root and updating the imsmanifest file. This probably isn't very helpful, but the solution has been documented for Storyline - not the one with all the languages 'in the Storyline file' but with published versions being consolidated with a language selector. Anyone else gotten this far with Rise and all published languages in a file with language-selector option?

Hi Loredana! Thanks for clarifying that each language is available in a separate Rise course. Could you host each language course on a web server, then use the URL from the web-hosted course in the LMS? Also, how are you planning to track completion?

Hi Loredana! Bundling several languages into one Rise 360 course can be tricky, so I recommend creating a separate course for each language you need.

With separate courses, you can ensure your text labels are translated to the same language as your course content.

Hi Articulate 01,

Thanks for reaching out!

I'm happy to jump in here to help point you in the right direction. It looks like Lea designed their sample course using button blocks. This article should help you get started:

Rise 360: How to Use Button Blocks

Is there a specific part of the course you're having trouble with? If so, please let us know here or privately in a support case, and we'll be happy to assist you!

  I create a multiple language in one course by using a button stack. But I got some trouble, the first one my course show a progression percentage like a If I entry a Thai language course (via. button stack) but another language didn't take they will display at 50% complete course but I don't want to show about a progression. Can you help me how to solve it

    Hi Articulate 01!
    
    Thanks for the feedback and clarifying how you would like to use button blocks in your Rise 360 course. I'd be happy to offer some insight!
    
    I just had a follow-up question first:
    
    Are you trying to have the progress bar show up only for the Thai language block but not the other languages?
    
    If so, currently, there isn’t a way to remove the progress bar without disabling the sidebar or implementing a theme like Apex.
    
    Please let me know if you have any more questions! Looking forward to hearing from you!

Hi all, I know this is an old thread but I am about to embark on a project in which I need to produce once course but in multiple languages. I would be really grateful for any advice / lessons learned that you can share with me! Many thanks

  Hi Alex,
  
  I have experienced the following options:
  
  1. Create multiple rise courses (one for each language) and after exporting each scorm incorporate them in one unique folder. Through an html file (usually the LMS provider should be able to help you) the LMS will read the codes and address the learner according to their language selection in the tool. --> with this option learners should be able to access the course even if they are offline – if the LMS has this option.
  2. Create multiple rise courses (one for each language) and the incorporate all of them in one unique rise course through buttons. You will have a button linked to the url of the course that will address the learner. --> with this option the learners must be connected to a network to be able to access the courses.
  
  I’m not technically proficient but I can guarantee you that both options are feasible 😊
  Always hoping that Raise could allow soon to have multiple language courses!
