Has anyone offered multiple training material in different languages in one course?

 

I have 4 SCORM files (English, Spanish, Portguese, and French) in a course and have been trying to figure out a way to automatically present the preferred language training material to our users. I have tried doing thing based on Groups with no luck, and tried to figure out hyperlinking from the description,also a failure. 

 

Has anyone else faced this issue and figured it out? Thank you for any and all help!

You can only sort/filter at the course level and right now, a course can only be assigned a single language. There is project underway to add course localization which will hopefully resolve this issue but we have no ETA. You can see it here

you might try using tags to enhance your search results but not sure that will work without communication to your users on how to search for of it...make search your global search bar includes results for training materials

@Scott Foster In our organization, we faced similar issues with global course content delivered through different SCORM packages (one per language). Initially, we asked for a single package with all languages, but it didn't work due to file size limitations.

Now, we have created a folder in the Training Materials tab and uploaded individual SCORM files with “End Object Marker” enabled to prevent them from being complete all the files. Additionally, we developed a short video (under 5 minutes) on "Selecting Languages" as a prerequisite for SCORM selections. This has reduced learner queries about selecting the correct SCORM file and completion.

@Baskaran venugopal we use the same “Strategy”. I create different folders (one for each language) so the user can choose the preferred one. Each SCORM is an  “End Object Marker”, to have the course in a completed status. Each folder has the language name, so the user can choose it, without lose time.
