Switch languages from within Rise 360 course using Articulate Localization

Hi! We have used Articulate localization to translate our course into 5 languages. We then export to one SCORM package that contains all of the languages.

We use that SCORM file in 2 LMS's. In Litmos, the user is presented with the language, they choose the content and off they go. If they decide they want to go back and choose English instead (it's technical content, this is common), they simply exit and go back in and they'll have the option to choose the language again. It keeps track of where they were, just presents in the new chosen language. All works great.

In Thinkific, once again the user is presented with the language choice when first entering the course. However, whatever language they choose "sticks." There is no way to switch to a different language if they accidentally chose the wrong one or want to go back to English. When they exit and come back in, they come back in in the same language with no option to choose another one. 

Is there a way to present the option to switch languages from within the course? I'm using Rise 360, not Storyline. I found this previous article, but I think it's meant for Storyline? Articulate Localization | Articulate - Community

    Hi AmyBradley-85bf! Thanks for reaching out! It is interesting to hear that the behavior is different in Litmos and Thinkific. Since the learner can modify the language in Litmos, I'm wondering if the issue is specific to Thinkific. Are there any other elements in a course that doesn't allow the learner to edit when revisiting the course in Thinkific? 

     

    If you are open to sharing the link to the course in Thinkific with our Support team, I'm sure they could test this out on their end.
