Localized Metadata Translations for Courses

Feature Description:

This feature lets administrators easily translate key course information—such as titles and descriptions—into multiple languages directly within the platform. A new Languages & Localization tab in course settings centralizes these actions, allowing admins to add, edit, or delete translations for any supported platform language. Learners automatically see metadata in their preferred language, ensuring a seamless multilingual experience across both E-learning and ILT courses.

Estimated rollout timeline:

• April, 2026: Manual localization available for E-learning and ILT courses.

• July, 2026: Extended to Learning Plans and AI-assisted translation.

• October, 2026: Search indexing and audit trail support added.

What problem it solves

Previously, course metadata (like titles and descriptions) could only be displayed in one language, creating challenges for global organizations managing multilingual catalogs. With localized metadata, admins can now provide a consistent and accessible experience for every learner, regardless of their language preferences.

What's the value for you

With Localized Metadata Translations, your learners can discover and engage with content in the language that feels most natural, no matter where they are in the world.

• Global Reach: Present your training content in multiple languages to better serve international learners.

• Improved Discoverability: Localized metadata enhances catalog visibility and boosts engagement.

• Consistent Experience: Learners see course details in their profile language for a smoother, more intuitive journey.

How Can You Use it

1. Open a course’s Languages & Localization tab in Course Settings.

2. Add or edit translations for titles, short descriptions, and full descriptions.

3. Use the pre-fill option to copy content from your default language, then customize it.

Learners will automatically see course information in their preferred language, with fallback logic to the course default.
