How do you display similar courses  that are delivered in different regions?

@LManske23 What we have done is build out several catalogs and aligned specific languages to each one.  Then based on user preferred language identified in their user profile (custom field we brought in) they are assigned to their respective regions catalog which thereby creates unique regional catalogs

Additionally although painful, for e-learnings with multiple language selection we have created course shells for each available language and assigned to the applicable catalog for it to be visible to the relevant audience.

 

Hope this helps!


@LManske23- similarly - we have delineated a national language to a country. So when we communicate to that country? They receive a notification that they can read from us. The act of the person mapping themselves to a language can now drive a group giving you some more power in the experience.

We have recently deployed learning to 3 countries all Spanish speaking and we received accolades on the approach and the experience.

I would say as a short list think about localization for the :

  • Notifications
  • Adjustments at the platform level with the localization tool
    • Login text tweaks
    • Tweaks on any authentication/registration step.
  • Localization for the course shells
  • Localization for the course content
  • we are mapping countries at the branch level
    • Permissions and text at the menu and pages level that is sensitive to the page names in the language of delivery

OOO...and maybe a tip? Watch for pesky special characters if you are going to target folk via csv imports. Special characters not recognized by the CSV import become a question mark after importing.

And overall - this has been good - we had two people ask us for an English version that we had on tap. We pushed the Spanish version of the course to all. 2 amongst a 250 group is a pretty tolerable error bar for us.

Hope this helps.

 


One last note @LManske23 - there was a guide built out. This is as fully fleshed out as a guide can be with good questions to consider.

We can thank @pmo for it.
