To support training in multiple languages, Creator courses can be translated to various languages. This article highlights some important practices when using this tool in Creator.
Translations powered by Google Translate
Alchemy has partnered with Google to create our translating tool to provide a quick machine translation. Keep in mind Google Translate is the starting line, not the final destination. It’s important to remember the following:
- Have a fluent subject matter expert review translated materials
- Know the same phrase may translate differently as the translator improves
- Double translation are not recommended!
Series of capitalized words may be skipped – check for translations
