Indicating multiple languages in Course Tiles

We are required by Canadian Law to offer our courses in both English and French. We do this by loading both English and French SCORM files in the same course, and set each one with an End Object Marker, so users can complete whatever one they prefer. We have a problem though, when completing the course creation form. The required Language field does not support multiple selections. Because the field is required, we have been selecting English, and putting EN / FR in the course name. Not an ideal solution.

Is there a workaround for this?

    @JasonQ Hi, Jason

    I think you’ve found the best work around.

    Docebo does not yet support courses in multiple languages so what you are doing is the best solution for what we've got to work with.

    We opt to separate things even further by creating copies of the courses and having each in their own language. Catalogues are them assigned using groups and the users’s language preference so they only access course in their preferred language…

    Optional, you can create an equivalency between these courses if that makes sense for your use cases.

    We created multiple language catalogs and it’s working for us.  We took our English catalogs and duplicated into whatever language we need and then when assigning the material, we can choose the language and then the appropriate catalog and this is working perfectly for us.

    I have found a workaround that works beautifully. It is a bit kludgy, but what the heck. Our site has English and French activated as languages in the Localization settings. I took a sample course, and changed that course language to Dutch. Because Dutch is not an activated language, the language indicator on the course tile just disappears. I checked with our Docebo technical representative and she said this should not have any negative effects. To be honest, I actually first tried Swahili - but Dutch is right above English in the dropdown. All I had to do after that was let our superadmins know so they wouldn’t get confused when they see Dutch everywhere.
