Introduction
The Learn365 user interface can be viewed in 26 languages in both the browser version and the Learn365 mobile app. Customers can also implement their own translations of the Learn365 product text for any of the languages supported by SharePoint.
You might want to change the wording of some of the translations, alter the text of some labels, or introduce an entirely new language by customizing all Learn365 product label text. This can be achieved using language files. Changes to languages files are reflected in the browser version of Learn365 but not in the mobile app.
In this article, show you how to add custom text and translations to Learn365.
Add custom text and translations
Required role: LMS admin.
There are two ways to add custom text and translations. Both methods are available from the Global Settings of the Learn365 Admin Center.
1. Go to the Learn365 Admin Center > Global Settings > Language Files > select the area of Learn365 for which you want to change the label text (Course creator, SCORM & AICC Player, Learning Module Builder, Assignment & Gradebook, or Quiz).
The Language page of the relevant area is displayed.
2. From the Select Language drop-down list, select the relevant language.
Currently, translation is available only for languages marked with an asterisk (*). Selecting a language that doesn't have an asterisk displays the text in English (United States).
If you select a language that doesn't have an asterisk, you can provide your own translations for the Learn365 product labels if the SharePoint supports the language.
IMPORTANT
The language of the LMS admin's browser may be listed at the top of the Select Language drop-down list. This happens even if Learn365 doesn't currently support the language. Therefore, if the language displayed at the top of the list isn't supported by Learn365 or SharePoint, it shouldn't be selected for the purposes of adding custom text and translations.
The next steps depend on your preferred method for managing translations:
Option 1
3. Complete the relevant fields with your custom text.
4. Select Save.
Option 2
3. Select Export to download the language file to your local device as an Excel file.
4. Edit the Excel file by completing the Custom Values column for the relevant labels.
5. Save the Excel file.
6. To upload the language file, from the Language page in the Learn365 Admin Center, select Import and select the edited Excel file from your local computer.
Text from the edited Custom Values column in the imported Excel file are displayed in the corresponding fields, below the original text.
7. Select Save.
IMPORTANT
Text customized in this way applies to both current course catalogs and any catalogs you create in future. For existing course catalogs, text changes are applied after reloading the page.
