Localization – How to customize the language selection screen in Rise 360 or Storyline 360?

Hi everyone! 👋

I’m currently working on a multilingual course using the new localization features in Articulate 360, and I’ve tested the built-in language selector available in Rise 360 and Storyline 360.

I’d like to know if there’s a way to customize the language selection screen to make it more visually appealing and aligned with our branding — for example:

  • Display a custom message like:
    “To start, please select your preferred language” /
    “Pour commencer, veuillez choisir votre langue”
  • Add a logo or background image
  • Use a custom layout, colors, or design
  • Replace the dropdown with visual buttons (flags, icons, etc.)

I understand this may involve creating a manual welcome screen, especially in Storyline 360, but I wanted to check if the localization feature allows any kind of customization out of the box.

Has anyone already customized the language selection interface successfully? Or are there workarounds you recommend?

Thanks in advance for your insights! 🙏

    My team and I are currently testing Articulate Localization during the trial period, and we had the same question—how to customize the language selection screen. While it's great to offer courses in multiple languages, having the language selection screen available in only one language can be a barrier for users who don’t understand it or for whom it’s not their native language.

    I’d also be very interested in any solutions or workarounds for this.

    Hi ErickSpariha352 & JoaneMiron-e598!

    Happy to help!

    Currently, Articulate Localization does not offer a built-in way to customize the language selection screen for learners. Thanks for letting us know this functionality is important to you! I've shared your feedback with our product team.

    Also, I would like to highlight that Storyline does allow authors to include a logo, within the Player itself.

    This option can be found under the Home Tab > Player Properties > Player Features (Logo).

    Please let me know if you have anymore questions!

    Thanks so much for your quick reply!

    I really appreciate the clarification. I’ll definitely use the logo option in the Player Features as you suggested — that's helpful for branding purposes.

    As a follow-up question:


    👉 Is there any known workaround to customize the initial language selection screen, or a way to simulate a more visual welcome slide with buttons, images, and introductory text — even if it requires a manual setup?

    I’d love to offer a more engaging start screen for learners before they choose their language.

    Thanks again for your support and for forwarding the feedback to the product team!
