How do I create a lesson in a foreign language?


When editing your lesson in SoftChalk Create, choose Properties/Lesson Properties. Select a language from the drop-down list.For students looking at the lesson in a web browser, the navigation, instructions, sidebar headings, etc. will appear in the chosen output language. 

We currently have:


  • Arabic 
  • Chinese 
  • Dutch
  • English
  • Finnish 
  • French
  • German
  • Italian
  • Japanese
  • Portuguese
  • Russian
  • Spanish


The instructor must enter the content in the appropriate language within SoftChalk. (There is no automatic translation feature.) Within SoftChalk, you can insert foreign characters. (Choose Insert/Special Characters/Other.)  (The menus in the SoftChalk Create editing window for the instructor are in English.)
