The language of activities
Language of navigation buttons and interface
When an activity is created or duplicated, it is possible to choose from 13 languages. Only the navigation buttons (on the participant side) will be set to the selected language. Here are some examples of participant-side navigation buttons:
Teach Up offers the following language options:
- French (FR) 🇫🇷
- English (EN) 🇺🇸
- German (DE) (AUTO) 🇩🇪

- Russian (RU) (AUTO) 🇷🇺
- Ukrainian (UK) (AUTO) 🇺🇦
- Chinese (ZH) (AUTO) 🇨🇳
Languages marked with (AUTO) indicate that the navigation buttons are automatically translated. However, these translations are generated by a machine translation system and do not apply to the main course content.
Language of training content
When training content is integrated directly into an activity or manually translated, all languages are supported.
If the activity is translated using automatic translation, only the languages listed above are supported.
Note: the language of an activity cannot be changed once the course has been created.
Participant portal language
Participants can customize the language of their participant space from their first login or at any time through their profile settings. The supported languages are English (EN) 🇺🇸 and French (FR) 🇫🇷. The language of the participant space is independent of the language of courses, assessments, or training paths.
Here are the steps for the participant in order to change their language :
- The participant logs into their Teach Up space.
- The participant accesses profile settings by clicking on the profile icon.
- The participant can then select the desired language from the available options (EN/FR).
- The participant clicks "Save" to apply the change.
These settings only modify the navigation language of the participant space and not the content of the courses, assessments, or training paths within it.
