Language for Participants
Language of Courses, Assessments, and Training Paths (Navigation Buttons and Interface)
Authors can set the language of a course, assessment, or training path during creation or duplication of the content. The chosen language at this stage automatically configures navigation buttons and instructions for courses, assessments, and training paths, allowing for courses tailored to an international audience.
The available languages for navigation buttons depend on the options selected by the author during the initial setup. Here is a list of the most commonly used languages:
- French (FR)
- English (EN)
- German (DE) (AUTO)
- Spanish (ES) (AUTO)
- Indonesian (ID) (AUTO)
- Italian (IT) (AUTO)
- Japanese (JA) (AUTO)
- Korean (KO) (AUTO)
- Polish (PL) (AUTO)
- Portuguese (PT) (AUTO)
- Russian (RU) (AUTO)
- Ukrainian (UK) (AUTO)
- Chinese (ZH) (AUTO)
Languages marked with (AUTO) indicate that navigation buttons are automatically translated. However, these translations are generated by an automatic translation system and do not apply to the main content of the courses.
Language of Courses, Assessments, and Training Paths (Course Content)
To translate the content of an existing course or assessment (excluding navigation buttons), you must use a translation file, which can be exported from the activity. Follow the detailed instructions in this article.
Note:
- The language of a course cannot be changed by the participant once the course has started.
- It is possible to create multiple versions of the same course in different languages to cater to diverse audiences.
Participant portal language
Participants can personalize the language of their interface either during their first login or at any time via their profile settings. Supported languages are English (EN) and French (FR). The language of the participant portal is independent of the language used in the courses, assessments, or training paths.
Steps to change the participant portal 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 do not alter the language of the course, assessment, or training path content.
