Working with Multiple Languages

The LMS is a multi-lingual application: supported languages are determined by your configuration. If multiple languages are supported, you will be able to enter text strings in each language supported. The LMS will display text in the user’s preferred language, if it is available: otherwise it will display the text using the client’s preferred language. When working with multiple languages, enter the translated values consistently to ensure the best experience for your user community.

A user's account indicates their preferred language. When a user chooses a language other than English, the interface navigation (button names, menus, etc.) change to that language, and any text you have entered for that language is applied. If an alternative term in the chosen language is not configured, the default language will be used.

Note: This mechanism does not affect the language used within the learning content itself. The content can, however, use the SCORM API to determine the learner’s preferred language and act accordingly if it supports multiple languages.
