AI Translations

This feature requires the Multi-Language Tool.

You can use AI to translate your module text and content items into any language enabled on your system. This works in both Learning Paths and Classic Modules. Access can be granted to this functionality via the Manage Modules and Manage New Builder Modules role abilities.

Module Text Translations

From the module builder:

  1. Click the Globe icon to open the AI translations tool.
  2. Pick your target language.
  3. Click Generate Translations (and accept the AI Terms of Use). 

Translations default to Draft stage. Translated text is not visible to users until you publish at the module level.

The system translates:

  • Admin-created text: module title, description, section summaries, & landing page fields. 
  • Section: titles, descriptions, & overviews. 
  • Content items: Tests, Homework, Observation Checklists, Links, Flashcards, Embedded Media, Events, and Text Blocks.

The system does not translate:

  • Videos
  • Video Subtitles (handled separately; see below)
  • Documents
  • Images
  • Other Modules
  • eLearning Media
  • Wistia Videos.

If you add new translatable content to a module that's already been translated, a New Content banner flags it to remind you to update your translations: 

Video Subtitle Translations

For Wisetail hosted video content you can generate translated subtitle files. After you've uploaded a subtitle file or used AI-Generated Subtitles on a video, a subtitle entry appears for each of your enabled languages.

To generate a translation for a specific language:

  1. Click Translate next to the language in the module, or use the Translate all languages button.
  2. Once a translation is ready, click Activate to make that subtitle track live on the video. 
  3. To remove a language's subtitle track, click Deactivate. 

To preview subtitles, activate the file and then click the video preview. Under Captions, all active language tracks are available for selection.

Each translated file can also be exported for manual editing or deleted entirely.

Custom Terminology

Terms added to the Custom Terminology index are respected during AI translation. The system applies your preferred translations for those terms consistently across all content.

The Custom Terminology index is found here:
Admin Tool -> System -> Multi Language Admin

Add Custom Term will allow you to add a new word or phrase in all associated languages

Upload Terminology File allows you to import or download your list of terms
