Translate a module

Add a language to a module and translate its text, slide by slide, while the media stays shared.

1 min read

A module has one set of slides and a separate layer of text for each language. Media, design, embeds, interactive settings and the correct quiz answer are shared across all languages. Only the text is translated.

  1. Choose the language button in the top bar, next to the desktop and mobile toggle.
  2. Pick a language, or choose + Add language. The list shows how many slides each language has translated.
  3. A blue bar confirms which language you're editing. Each field shows its English text underneath for reference.
  4. Type over the greyed-out English and save with Save translation, ⌘ S, or by clicking away. That text is saved for this language only.
  5. Next untranslated › takes you to the next slide that still needs text.

The slide rail shows each slide's state in the current language: Translated, Partly translated, Not translated or English changed.

What gets translated: slide titles and body text, quiz questions, answers and feedback, annotation labels and subtitles.

When the English changes: a slide edited in English after it was translated is marked English changed and counted in the language list. The old translation stays live until someone updates it.

What learners see: the module in their chosen language. Any slide without a translation shows in English.
