# Translating Courses

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Lessons, Quizzes,** and **Assignments** should be translated first before **the Courses.** Otherwise, translations are not synchronized within the Courses.
{% endhint %}

Translating courses is just as straightforward action as translating lessons. As an example, we are using [**WPML Translation Management**](/masterstudy-lms/wpml/getting-started.md#wpml-translation-management-example) to translate courses. However, you can use the[ **second method** ](/masterstudy-lms/wpml/getting-started.md#on-page-translation-buttons)by following **WP Dashboard > MS LMS > Courses** to translate them too. 

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Follow **WP Dashboard> WPML > Translation Management** under the **Courses** section, select the course you want to translate:

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Scroll down and click on the <kbd>Translate</kbd> button:

<figure><img src="/files/MAReCe3ShvZoisIicTCk" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Now move to the **WP Dashboard > WPML > Translations** tab. You can see the chosen course(s) here. Go ahead and click on the <kbd>Translate</kbd> button:

<figure><img src="/files/rehw4cl3eK23gygXSuWA" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
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**

{% hint style="info" %}
The rest of the information (course cover image, video, certificate, etc) will be inherited from the original course automatically.
{% endhint %}

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

<figure><img src="/files/ZnpYqyhb2E9BJaZelrL3" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

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:

<figure><img src="/files/k4fJXEjVx3P2EnEtzLPY" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Here is the result in the course builder:

<figure><img src="/files/dqA1Tf8tZhohzVxB6dz0" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

{% hint style="warning" %}

#### IMPORTANT!

If you add/translate lessons after the course translation, you have to add new lessons manually to the course.
{% endhint %}

To do it, click on the <kbd>Search Materials</kbd> from the Course Curriculum:

<figure><img src="/files/Y6QTfOGi31gBSJBPPlcg" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Choose the lessons, assignments, and quizzes you want to import:

<figure><img src="/files/5sbHrdIUw7ooFbjkHrKh" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

{% hint style="info" %}
For the quizzes, you can create new ones as questions are not translatable.&#x20;

{% endhint %}

Here is the result:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Spanish (Translated)" %}

<figure><img src="/files/fmTlxQkmLualMsxLuUYL" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="English (Original)" %}

<figure><img src="/files/bLyO7STVRRqOFNYxpUFH" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

### 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**](/masterstudy-lms/lms-pro-addons/certificate-builder.md) 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.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Create a New Certificate

First, create a new certificate in a target language. In our example, we use :flag\_es:**Spanish.** You can do it using [**Certificate Builder.** ](/masterstudy-lms/lms-pro-addons/certificate-builder.md)
{% endstep %}

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

<figure><img src="/files/30vo9iVORf6MtUw0FPjh" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Edit the needed course with Course Builder:

<figure><img src="/files/nDb5flQHGFVUZF6NZQD8" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Follow **Settings** (*Ajustes*) **> Certificates** (*Certificado*), then choose your translated certificate and **save** the changes:

{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
