Translate a Course

Here's how to get started:

1. In your dashboard, hover over the content tile for the course you want to localize, click the more (...) icon, and select Translate.
2. A translation dialog will appear. You can confirm the source language, select one or more target languages, and adjust the formality if the languages support that option.
3. Click Translate. Rise will make a copy of your project for each language and bundle them together into a single course ‘stack’ tile on the Rise dashboard.

 

Adding languages creates a course stack

When you add languages to a Rise course, each translated language becomes a separate copy of the original course. Note that:

• The source language and all target languages are presented as a single ‘stack.’ The course tile on the dashboard indicates how many languages are in the stack.
• Clicking the tile opens an overview page that lists all the current languages in a sidebar and allows you to preview each language.
• To edit an individual language, switch to it in the sidebar and click the Edit button in the top navigation bar. Any changes you make affect only the language you are currently editing.
• Customer label sets are not translated, but translated courses will automatically have default label sets for each target language. If you prefer to use custom label sets,  you can assign them to individual courses after translation.

Manage Languages

You can add or remove languages from a multi-language project at any time. You can also save a copy of a language as a separate course.

Add or Replace a Language

To add or replace (retranslate) a language, re-run the translation tool by selecting Translate from the stack tile option in the dashboard or clicking Add Languages at the bottom left of the stack overview.

Remove a Language

To remove a language, click the ellipses (...) beside the language from the stack overview, and choose Archive. The language moves to the Archived Translation folder at the bottom left. You can restore or permanently delete the language from the Archived Translation folder.

Save a Copy of a Language

To save a language as a separate course or microlearning, click the ellipses (...) beside the language from the stack overview, and choose Save as. Give the copy a name and click Save. The copy is saved in the same folder as the multi-language project.

Tips

Add Collaborators

You can add collaborators to your multi-language course in three ways:

• Go to the source language course and add them via course settings.
• From your Rise dashboard, hover over the content tile for the course, click the More (...) icon, and select Share to add them via share settings.
• Hover over the content tile for the course from your Rise dashboard, click the More (...) icon, and select Move to move the course to a team folder. Everyone who has collaborator access to the team folder you choose will have the same access to the course. 

Make sure the collaborator you add has access to Articulate Localization. Course managers and editors can access course stacks, but only course managers can initiate course translations and manage languages.

Localizing Video and Audio Assets

Localize video and audio assets automatically by inserting closed captions before translation. Since closed captions are text, they will be translated when you add languages to your course. If you already have translated versions of the assets, you can upload them to the corresponding language variants.
