Articulate Localization: Publish Multi-Language Rise 360 Courses

Articulate Localization makes publishing multi-language Rise 360 courses easy. Publish all language versions as a single package for your LMS or web server, and let learners choose which language to view when they launch the course. Or publish each language separately as its own package for LMS export if that’s what your LMS supports. For the best experience, publish your multi-language training to Reach 360 so your learners automatically see content in their preferred language.

To start, click Publish on the top right of the course stack or while authoring a multi-language course. Choose from the following output types: Reach 360, LMS, Web, and PDF. Find more details for each type below.

Reach 360

You can use the Language dropdown in the publishing options page to choose whether to publish all or a subset of your course languages. Then, select the same settings as you would when publishing Rise 360 content to Reach 360. Click Publish at the bottom to send all language versions directly to your Reach account packaged as a single training, as shown below. Learn more about how multi-language training works in Reach 360.

LMS

Publishing to LMS gives you the same LMS settings as when publishing Rise 360 content to the LMS. You also get the option to choose which languages to include and whether you’ll have a single package or separate LMS packages for each selected language. 

1. Click the Language dropdown to deselect any language you want to exclude. All languages are selected by default. 
2. Choose between publishing a single LMS package with all the languages you selected or publishing separate packages for each language. Each option is explained below.
• • The Publish selected languages as a single LMS package option lets you upload one zip file to your LMS. Learners can choose their preferred language when they launch the course, as shown below.
    
  • The Publish separate LMS packages for each selected language option lets you download one zip file containing several other zip files, one for each language. You’ll need to unzip the main zip file, then upload each language zip file to your LMS.
    
3. Click Publish at the top right to proceed with your chosen option.

Note: Does your multi-language course have an [Early Access] tag? That means it was created in the early-access version of Articulate Localization and can’t be published as a single package with all the selected languages. Refer to this user guide for help using the early-access version. This article explains more about the new features available in the updated Rise 360 version of Articulate Localization, including how to convert your courses to the newer version.

Web-Only

The web-only output gives you a single course with all the available languages. Learners can choose their preferred language when they launch the course. Simply unzip the zip file provided and upload the contents to your web server. When the files are uploaded, give learners a link to the index.html file.

PDF

The PDF output gives you one zip file containing one PDF file for each language available in the multi-language course.
