I build courses in Rise in different languages. I use both the built-in label sets and custom label sets.
Unfortunately, sometimes they don't seem to work properly. For example, at the moment I'm building an English language course and have set the labels to English. However, some of the labels in the course are appearing in Vietnamese.
I actually had to custom create my own English language label set because, unlike my colleagues, I did not have a built-in English label option.
Has anyone encountered this same issues and discovered how to fix it?
Hi there, Ashley. It sounds like a couple of things are happening:
When you are editing the course, you aren't seeing the label set that you've applied. This is expected. If you change from the default label set, you won't see the new labels selected until you run a preview. If you preview or use the Share link, do you see the English labels?
Your default label set may have changed from English to Vietnamese. Everyone will get the 4 built-in label sets, with the default being English. If the English label set was inadvertently edited and/or renamed, those changes will apply to every new course you start. Is it possible that what was originally the English label set has been changed to Vietnamese?
These are some educated guesses I'm making; so let me know what you think!
Hi there! I'm having the same problem and no matter what I do to try to switch it back to English, mine still appears in French (I've tried Preview and Share). Is there a way to manually edit the label sets?
I'm having the same issue - English and French. Seems like a bug in RISE - it should flip with the selected language, period - right?. Has anyone seen any suggestions from Articulate Support on this?
A couple a days ago we imported French into a couple courses - that worked great. Then we flipped the labels to French, but they stayed in English. We shrugged and left it - now we just came back and checked - all good now. Odd. Thanks.
Hi Crystal. What if my Rise modules do not have a setting to change Labels? Could it be that this is managed by my company? In my case, only the top 2 buttons are in another language.
There is a huge bug that partly translates things! Very poor experience so far indeed. I developed a course in Rise, and I am finding myself in such an impasse as I opted in for the inbuild option of the German Translation of the Labels and it only partly changes button and elements. So the "Start Course" seems to be ok but the "Continue" or the "Complete the content above before moving on" button still stays the same! I have tried downloading the XLIFF file and then reuploading it to a duplicate course and still nothing
We are have related but different issue with the label languages. We have changed Label language setting from English to French. All labels appear in French in Preview and Publish as expected. However, when we send a copy of the course from 1 Rise account to another the label language is reset to English. It is causing a huge issue for all of the files that we are receiving from translators and also for the source files that we need to provide to clients.
We have checked the language setting to ensure it is French before a copy is sent.
A key point to understand regarding Labels, is that labels are associated with the Articulate account of the current Course Owner.
Because Course Labels are firstly associated with the account of the course owner, if you send a copy of a course to a another account, your unique label set will nottravel with the course and the labels will revert to the default, unedited, Rise English labels.
I tried changing the preferred language on my Articulate 360 account to French and this did not seem to change anything. To clarify - is the language of the account you are referring to or are you referring to the language of the product that was purchased?
I'm referring to the language that students will see for the user interface and buttons when they take a Rise course, for example, Start Course, Resume Course, Try again, Correct, etc.

Hi Ashley,
If you view the Label set for that course, is it all English and no Vietnamese?
Hi Karl,
Yes, all the labels on the selected label set are in English. It's the first thing I checked!
Kind regards,
Ashley

Hi,
All of your courses can share the same label set. This is what happens by default.
Alternatively, you can create a custom label set for each course.
To do this, open your course, and choose SETTINGS.
Choose LABELS.
Select CREATE NEW.
Save it using a different name. A copy will be created of the label set that was previously used for that course.
You can now edit the label set, and it will apply only to the current course.
Thank you, Karl!

Hi Malcolm,
What problem are you experiencing with English and French labels?
A couple a days ago we imported French into a couple courses - that worked great. Then we flipped the labels to French, but they stayed in English. We shrugged and left it - now we just came back and checked - all good now. Odd. Thanks.
It seems to have corrected itself Karl - thanks!

Hi Jill,
Only the course owner has the ability to change or edit the labels.

Hi,
Continue blocks like "Continue" and the "Complete the content above before moving on" are not part of the Course Label set.
Each Continue block needs to be edited and translated individually.
