Translating Custom Blocks in Rise
Hi, My co-worker just translated a course but the custom block didn't translate. Do you know if they will get translated in future updates to the feature?
I’ve dealt with this too, and a practical workaround that’s helped is keeping a “master” version of your course and then duplicating it per language, instead of trying to localize custom blocks directly. When you export XLIFF, make sure all text inside custom blocks is added as editable text (not embedded in media), otherwise it won’t carry over cleanly. Also, using clear naming conventions for each language version and keeping a simple tracking sheet for updates can save a lot of time when changes are needed later. It’s not perfect, but it makes the process much more manageable until Rise improves native support for this.
