Multi-Language Support for CR/VC Instances with Language Tagging

Adobe Learning Manager (ALM) allows authors to create language-specific instances using language tagging for Classroom and Virtual Classroom modules. This feature allows learners to access CR/VC modules in their preferred language. For example, an author can create a CR/VC module with two instances: one in English and one in French. Learners can select the instances in their preferred language.

Workflow

First, the author creates and publishes a course in multiple languages, enabling the language options on the instance creation page. The author can then create different instances by selecting a language for each. Learners can choose the instance based on the language mapped to them.

  1. Log in as an Author.

  2. Select Courses > Add to create a course.

  3. Type the Name and Description of the course.
