Translating Courses

Translating courses is just as straightforward action as translating lessons. As an example, we are using WPML Translation Management to translate courses. However, you can use the second method by following WP Dashboard > MS LMS > Courses to translate them too.

1

Follow WP Dashboard> WPML > Translation Management under the Courses section, select the course you want to translate:

2

Scroll down and click on the Translate button:

3

Now move to the WP Dashboard > WPML > Translations tab. You can see the chosen course(s) here. Go ahead and click on the Translate button:

On the opened page, you will translate the following details of the course:

• Course Title

• Course Description

• Excerpts (short description)

• Course Category (ies)

• Course Announcement

• Course Duration

• Video Duration

• FAQs

The rest of the information (course cover image, video, certificate, etc) will be inherited from the original course automatically.

All of these details should be translated and click on the Save and Complete button to finish:

Once you translate the course, its translated contents (lessons, assignments) should be visible inside the course automatically. You can check it by following WP Dashboard > MS LMS > Courses and choosing the language (in our case, Spanish) from the filter:

Here is the result in the course builder:

To do it, click on the Search Materials from the Course Curriculum:

Translating Course Certificates

In the Certificates tab of the Course Settings, you can attach any certificate to the course. Certificate translation is not required — in fact, there's no need to translate an existing certificate. Instead, simply create a version of the certificate in the target language and assign it from the course builder. You can attach different certificates for the same course, each in a different language.

Create a New Certificate

First, create a new certificate in a target language. In our example, we use 🇪🇸Spanish. You can do it using Certificate Builder.

Once you have a new certificate in Spanish, follow WP Dashboard > MasterStudy > Courses and switch to the Spanish tab:
