How to change language in menu

[ely]

Hi All,

  I have an open edX platform that will host several courses in several languages.

How can I change the language of the menu of one course? Not the language of the whole platform. Just the menu of one specific course.

Thanks in Advance,

Best Regards,

Ely

Hi Ely,

That's not a capability the platform has, nor is it one on our roadmap. The user defines their language preference, and that's the language they see the platform in. The course content can be in another language, but for ease of navigation they see all the platform strings in their preferred language.

For example, on Facebook some of my friends are from Israel, and others live in Mexico. I speak some Hebrew and Spanish. When I see their posts, their posts are in Hebrew or Spanish, and I respond in Hebrew or Spanish. However, on Facebook I set my preferred language to English, so when I click the posting button, it says "Post" in English, even if I'm responding to a post in Spanish. See here how the content (comments) are in Hebrew, but the interactions (post sticker, Like, timestamps, etc) are still in English, my preferred language:

​

We follow the same model in Open edX.

Best,

Sarina

Dear Sarina,

  thank you so much for your quick reply! 

Going to my profile, in Account settings I read near the Language drop-down:

The language used throughout this site. This site is currently available in a limited number of languages.

..Adn I can see only "English" into the drop-down. I guess I need to download & install some localization package for the platform. So could you please tell me the url with the instructions for downloading and installing such packages?

Btw I run an old Birch release and plan to update to Cypress - but now I need to have the Birch one working first.

Thank you again,

KR,

Ely
