Multi-language output

Hello,

 

Here is the situation I am in: I have a course in English but would like to translate to 3 more languages and give the user the possibility to select a preferred language. There is a quiz in the end of the course so the scores should be recorded only for the language selected. There are many interactions done with multi-state objects and there are audio files also.

What I am thinking to do is taking my English file as a Master file and creating 3 more separate outputs each in a different language just same as the master file but.. how do I relate them into one file to be uploaded in the LMS?

 

I saw some ideas to intervene in the imsmanifest and metadata files but I am not familiar with coding. Is there any other way or this is the only way?  The LMS is not sufficient enough to select a language by itself.

How long are those courses? Two possibilities:

  1. Create a main file where the choice is made for the language, and open the file in the chosen language. That means one main file and one for each language. How to set up that in the LMS depends on the LMS.
  2. Have everything in one course, and use Branch aware to have dynamic quizzing variables. Use custom navigation, never the playbar for navigation. You find an example in this blog: What is Branch Aware? - eLearning (adobe.com)

Thanks a lot for these propositions!
The one course + Branch aware will work in my case because the course will be relatevily simple and not too long.
