RISE: Custom course labels
Nov 15, 2018

Hello!
When creating new course labels for one of my course labels, I've noticed that the new label names are reflected throughout all courses in my library. This is a bit of a problem because I have Spanish courses and English courses, and have separate buttons for each, depending on the language.
Is there a way that I can change labels for a specific course without changing ALL course labels? Is there a reason behind this?
Thank you for your help as always!

Hi Amal
have you seen this KB article - is this how you did your labels?
Yes! That's how we did our labels. But in doing that, it changes the labels for ALL the courses in my library, and that's not what I want. Some course labels need to be in English and others need to be in Spanish, but it's not working out that way.
I would also be interested in this capability.
The article above was helpful. I was able to add a custom label for each different content type. Thanks!
I'm having problems with changing the language of the Process labels. I want the Start button to say Commencer. I created a new Custom Labels for my course with the French texts that I needed but it still shows in English in my course. Thanks!
arlo had made a video of this feature - renaming the labels in German for a German course - but you have to make sure you name this new label set and pull that down in the pull down menu so you don't change all your English Rise courses.
Hi Cheryl. Thanks for your reply.
That's what I did. I created a new Labels set especially for this course (even if there was already a French lables set), I made sure I chose that set but the labels are still showing in English. I can't publish my course with English labels. Anybody has encountered the same issue? If so, how did you fix it? Thanks.
Hello Lise! I noticed that the custom labels for the process block showed during Preview and when exported. Let me see what I can find out about those labels not changing during editing. I'll follow up with any changes to that behavior.
If you're having a different experience, please let me know!
Hello Crystal,
You're right! The custom labels do show correctly in Preview mode. It's only in Edit mode that it doesn't. I can work with that! :)
Thanks for the info!
Sure thing, Lise! And to follow up, labels are actually applied when the course is running, like in Preview or when it's shared. So you won't see your custom labels when editing. Thanks for letting me clarify!
I am currently working on converting an english rise course to German and have used the method mentioned above to change the labels to German. Itis a little annoying that the labels only show up in the corretc language when you preview, but I can handle this!
However the one label that idoes not show up in german is the one on the continue divider : "Complete the content above before moving on". - how do I change the language (or even customise this), I do not see it listed in the labels settings
ignore my previous response.. i found where I can edit the text for the Continue divider! (its in the edit for the divider)
Thanks for coming back around to let us know you found it, Patricia!
