Use these steps to show a student how to hear text on the screen in a different language.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Which languages do we support with our translation tool?
View the supported languages here.
Does the class remain translated once a different language has been set?
No, the translation tool only translates the text that is on screen at the time, so the student will need to translate each new page.
Do videos or video captions translate?
No, the translation tool only translates HTML on-screen text. If a caption is on the screen when the student clicks "translate," it will translate. However the next caption that displays will revert to English. As an alternative, students can translate the video transcripts.
Are there courses for which text translation does not work?
Text translation does not work for eDynamic Learning, CTE, or World Language courses.
