Rise 360: Edit Text Labels

Make built-in elements, such as buttons and lesson headers, say what you want them to say. Just customize the default text labels. You can also improve accessibility by translating labels used by screen readers in Rise 360. 

You can edit Rise 360 labels using the on-screen label editor, or you can export a label set, customize it with an XLIFF editor, and import it back into Rise 360. You’ll learn both methods in this lesson. 

Please note, in both scenarios, you’ll need to preview or share the content in order to see your customized labels in action. 

• Customize Your Labels Using the On-Screen Editor
• Customize Screen Reader Announcement Labels
• Export, Customize, and Import XLIFF Label Sets

Customize Your Labels Using the On-Screen Editor

Step 1: Open the Label Editor

Open the content you want to edit, then click Settings in the upper right corner of the screen and select the Labels tab.

Step 2: Choose a Label Set or Create a New One

To switch all the text labels to a different language or a custom label set, use the drop-down list at the top of the editor to make a selection.

Or, to customize individual text labels, click Create New at the top of the editor to create a new set of text labels, enter a name for your custom labels when prompted, and click OK.

Note: If you select a language from the drop-down list or import text labels for one of the supported languages, it will also localize your video player.   

Tip: Create a New Label Set When You Need to Customize Text Labels When you edit text labels, the changes affect all your Rise 360 content that uses the same label set. For example, if you edit the built-in English label set, all content that uses that label set will automatically get the same changes. We recommend creating a new label set when you need to customize text labels so you won’t accidentally change the labels in other Rise 360 courses. To change the name of a label set, just hover over it in the drop-down list and click the pencil icon that appears. To delete a label set, hover over it and click the garbage bin icon.

 

Step 3: Customize Individual Labels

Enter new text in the Custom Text column for each label you want to change. Click the Reset icon to replace your custom text with the default text. 

Note: If you don't want the Start/Resume button to appear for your course, leave the field blank. 

Step 4: Close the Label Editor

When you’re done, click Close in the upper right corner to return to your content.

Customize Screen Reader Labels

Screen reader announcement labels are used by screen readers to describe user-interface elements like buttons and links. Translating these along with your other labels is important to ensure maximum accessibility for all learners.

Screen reader announcement labels are automatically translated with your other labels when you select a new language. If you create a new label set, you'll need to manually translate them.

To modify individual labels, select the Screen Reader Announcements tab. The list is organized into groups: Global, Navigation, Media Players, and individual block type. The Description field has specific information on where the label is applied.

As with other labels, click the Reset icon to replace any changes with the default text.

Export, Customize, and Import XLIFF Label Sets

This is a great option if you use professional translators, an online translation service, or a computer program to localize content. Export a label set, customize it, then import it back into Rise 360.

Step 1: Export

Open the content you want to edit, then click Settings in the upper right corner of the screen and select the Labels tab.

Go to the drop-down list at the top of the label editor, hover over a label set, then click the download icon to export the label set to your computer. This downloads all labels, including accessibility labels. 

Tip: Rise 360 Uses XLIFF 1.2 Rise 360 exports XLIFF files, which are special XML files commonly used for translating content. Rise 360 uses XLIFF version 1.2.

 

Step 2: Customize

After exporting a label set, use a web app, computer program, or professional translation service to edit your XLIFF file.

Screen reader announcement labels have an ally prefix for easy identification. Your translation tool of choice should set the language code for your selected language. The language code controls how screen readers pronounce labels.

Step 3: Import

To import your custom labels back into Rise 360, go to the drop-down list at the top of the label editor, click Upload from XLIFF, and browse to the modified label set on your computer.

When prompted, give your custom label set a name and click OK.

Your new label set appears in the drop-down list under User Label Sets, and is available for any Rise 360 content you build. Please note, you can't reset text for user label sets. 

Step 4: Close the Label Editor

When you’re done, click Close in the upper right corner to return to your content.
