# Translating Lessons

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

As an example, we are using [**WPML Translation Management**](https://docs.stylemixthemes.com/masterstudy-lms/getting-started#wpml-translation-management-example) to translate lessons. However, you can use the[ **second method** ](https://docs.stylemixthemes.com/masterstudy-lms/getting-started#on-page-translation-buttons)by following **WP Dashboard > MS LMS > Lessons** to translate them too.&#x20;

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Follow **WP Dashboard > WPML > Translation Management** and under the **Lessons** section select the lessons you want to translate:

{% hint style="warning" %}

{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

The WPML Editor offers a list of markers for text formatting options like bold, italic, and strikethrough. To format a portion of text, simply select its alternative from the translated text and choose the appropriate button from the list.
