Easily add translations to a Project to publish in one package

Once you have made a Project, you can easily add more languages to it.

You do this by:

  • Exporting the Project’s text for translation 
  • Translating the content in the exported file (by your team or by a service provider)
  • Importing the translated file back into the dominKnow | ONE project

The imported language is added to the same project.

When you publish the Project it will contain all translated languages.

You can choose to have the Learner's browser language setting set the starting language or Learners can choose which language they prefer from the menu in the published Project.

Right-To-Left Languages

If your Project will include translations into right-to-left (RTL) languages, you must use a Theme based on the Course Player or Storyview player experiences.

Exporting a translation file

On the Home tab you can use the Translation menu to export the translation file.

You can export the file as XML or as an Excel file.

You can export multiple language files at a time . Each language will be a separate file, downloaded collectively in a ZIP file.

The translation file(s) will be downloaded as soon as they are processed.

If you have selected more than one language, a zip file will be downloaded containing separate translation files for each language.

Working with the exported translation files

There are a few important things to know about when working with the exported Excel and XML files.

This article walks through all those details.

Working with Translation Export Files >>

Importing a completed translation file

Once you have finished adding the required text translation strings into the file, you upload it back into your dominKnow | ONE site.

You can upload multiple files at once in a ZIP file.

Once a translation file is uploaded it will be shown on the List Translations panel, available under Translate on the Home tab when you have the Project open.

You can also do a Full Project Preview to see the translated text strings. When the preview loads it will display the project in its first language.

Under the Menu on the navigation bar, the Project will display that first language. Select that language indicator to open the Select Language panel, where you can choose any other available language. The preview will switch to show the selected language. 

Making edits after the translation file is imported

If you add new content to your Project after the translation file is imported (new Elements, new Pages, etc.) you need to re-export the file, provide the translation for the required text then re-import the translation file in order to add translations for the new content.

Re-exporting the translation file is also a good practice if you need to make more than a few edits to the translation text for a language. It is also the only way to make edits or changes to translation text for Page, Learning Object, Module and Project names. 

You can also make simple edits or changes to the translated text inline while authoring.

Elements that can have translation text are shown with a purple Translations icon (world icon). Selecting it opens the Edit Translations panel where you can edit any translated text associated with that element.

For a Text element the editable text will typically be the element's Title and its Content (the text displayed in the element). For Images or Videos, the translated text can include text within labels and markers or other items added over the element.

 

 

Setting on-page elements as well as Pages, Learning Objects and Modules to Language Targets

You can set on-page elements to only be shown when the learner selects a specific language.

This can be used to show a specific image or video based on language, for example.

This is shown in this lesson.

 

You can also set Pages, Learning Objects and Modules to only be shown for specific languages. To do this:

Select the Page, Learning Object or Module in the Course Outline panel.

Select the Three-dot menu 

 

You can also set Pages, Learning Objects and Modules to only be shown for specific languages.

To do this for a Page:

  1. Select the Page in the Course Outline panel.
  2. Select the three-dot menu.
  3. Select Properties.
  4. On the Properties panel, select Add Targets to open the Select Publish Targets panel where you can choose Language Targets.

Using the learner's browser language setting to determine the starting language

You can set the Project to detect the learner's browser language setting and use that to determine what language the Project will start in (if a matching language is available in the Project).

This is controlled by the Publishing profile setting Automatically Detect Language available in the Content Options list.

Add trigger to multiple pages in project
2022-06-22

Is there a way to add a trigger to every page in a project at once? I'm attempting to add javascript that is triggered on page load for every page in a course (after the course was already completed - this is for a migration effort). The only way I can find to do this is adding them one at a time to each page, which is painfully time-consuming.
