12.9.1. Feature Description: Xpert Course Translations#
Xpert Course Translations (XT) is a set of features enabling certain types of course content to be automatically translated into different languages.
Currently supported content types include:
Video transcripts, where an original English transcript exists.
Unit page content, including HTML, Problems, and Polls.
For notes and limitations regarding the supported content types, see Feature Limitations: Xpert Course Translations.
12.9.1.1. Selecting a Language for Translation#
Course translations are controlled by your site language. This can be changed with the globe icon in the top bar of the in-course experience (pictured below).
Clicking on this icon opens a modal which allows users to set their site language preference directly from within their course.
If a course supports unit translation and a user has selected a language other than English, a translation button will appear at the top of the unit. Supported content types will be automatically translated to their site language. For enabling or disabling the feature across a course, see Enabling or Disabling Translations.
Note
Content is translated on-demand. The first time a particular piece of course material is translated, there may be a slight delay in page loading before translated material is returned.
12.9.1.2. Resetting Translations#
Students can reset course material to its original language, disabling unit translations, by clicking this translation button and selecting “Original course language”.
