Evotix Learn (the Evotix training and learning platform) supports 64 languages and regional variations, enabling organisations to deploy the platform for a global, multilingual workforce. When a language is configured, system interface elements -- including menus, labels, and navigation text -- display in that language. However, learning content itself is not automatically translated. Administrators must manually supply translated content for each Stage (an individual piece of learning content) and Mission (a collection of Stages grouped by topic that represents a single training course).
Find out which languages are supported within Learn.
Prerequisites
Content Administrators (applying translations to learning content)
- Administrator or Content Administrator access to the Learn Admin Area.
- Content must already exist in its default language of the site before translations can be applied.
- The target language must already be enabled on the platform. To add additional language options beyond the default, contact your System Administrator. The System Administrator adds languages by following the steps in the Global Languages configuration.
System Administrators (enabling languages on the platform)
- System Administrator access to the Learn Admin Area.
- Access to the Global Languages configuration within the Learn Admin Area.
The languages available for selection are determined by the organisation's initial purchase. Contact your Customer Success Manager (CSM) or Customer Development Manager (CDM) to request additional languages.
Overview
Evotix Learn is designed to be used by all audiences, in any country and in any language, and as such all content in the app can be translated to ensure end users view content in their native language.
Learn supports 64 languages and regional variations. System elements such as menus, labels, and interface text can be displayed in the chosen language, creating a familiar user experience for learners.
Important distinction: language support for the system interface is separate from translation of learning content. The system interface can display in a supported language automatically; learning content requires the administrator to input the correct translated text manually.
Languages are continually being added to Learn. If the language required is not currently available, it will likely be included in a future release.
How Language Display Works for Learners
The front-end app will attempt to present content in the same language as the standard language of the device it is being used on. For example, if a user's phone is set to use French as its language for all system settings, the app will also try and show content in French.
When trying to present content to the users, the app will again try and show content that has been set under the device's system language. If, however, there is not a version of content in the language, it will instead use the version of content in the default language. For this reason, to ensure users always see a version of the content in their own language, the most important version of content is in the default language.
All structure text in the app, such as button and navigation text, supports translations into 18 languages. If the language used on the device is not supported the text will instead be shown in English.
Content Translation: Administrator Responsibilities
Language support does not include automatic translation of learning content. The administrator is responsible for providing translated content for each supported language required.
After creating content in the app in its default language, content can then be translated. Depending on the content type, translations can be applied in one of two ways: Per-block translations or Page-wide translations.
The location of the translation control differs depending on the content type. The two methods are described in detail below.
Method 1: Per-Block Translations
Applies to: Article Stages, Audio Visual (AV) Stages, PDF Stages, Resources
Per-block translations are applied to the individual blocks used to make up the content of stages, using the language button in each block's toolbar.
The language button is located within the toolbar that appears on each individual content block when the block is active in the Block Editor. It is not a page-level control -- each block has its own language button and must be translated separately.
Steps:
- Open the Stage or Resource in the Learn Admin Area.
- Locate the block to translate within the Block Editor.
- Click the language button in the block's toolbar.
- Select the target language from the list.
- The block saves existing content as the "English" content and clears the field.
- Enter the translated content for the selected language.
- Repeat steps 2 to 6 for each block that requires translation.
- Click Publish to save and publish changes.
Note: The correct method is determined by content type. Using the wrong method (for example, attempting per-block translation on a Quiz Stage) will not be available as Quiz Stages only support page-wide translation.
Method 2: Page-Wide Translations
Applies to: Quiz Stages, SCORM Stages, Missions, Notifications
The translation control for page-wide content is located in the publication panel at the top right of the admin page -- not within the content body itself. This is a single language selector that applies to all fields on the page simultaneously.
Steps:
- Open the content item (for example, a Mission or Quiz Stage) in the Learn Admin Area.
- Locate the Language section in the publication panel at the top right of the page.
- Select the target language from the dropdown.
- The page refreshes and shows all fields with existing content greyed out, over which you can add translations.
- Enter translations into each field.
- Click Publish (or Update) to save the translations.
Example -- translating a Mission title: The original English title is visible at the top of the page. Once the language is changed, the field empties and shows a greyed out version of the English content. The translated text is entered in the field to appear when a learner uses a device set to that language
Note on Levels and Pathways: The Learn platform contains Level and Pathway features. Pathways and Levels are a legacy feature and are not the recommended method for training delivery. The Assure integration workflow, which links Missions directly to course records in the People module, is the recommended approach for assigning, tracking, and managing training. If Levels or Pathways exist in the platform, the page-wide translation method applies to them, but administrators should focus translation effort on Missions and Stages when following the recommended workflow.
Quick Reference: Where to Find the Translation Control
| Content Type | Translation Method | Where to Find the Control |
|---|---|---|
| Article Stage | Per-block | Language button in each block's toolbar (Block Editor) |
| Audio Visual (AV) Stage | Per-block | Language button in each block's toolbar (Block Editor) |
| PDF Stage | Per-block | Language button in each block's toolbar (Block Editor) |
| Resources | Per-block | Language button in each block's toolbar (Block Editor) |
| Quiz Stage | Page-wide | Language dropdown in the publication panel -- top right of the admin page |
| SCORM Stage | Page-wide | Language dropdown in the publication panel -- top right of the admin page |
| Mission | Page-wide | Language dropdown in the publication panel -- top right of the admin page |
| Notifications | Page-wide | Language dropdown in the publication panel -- top right of the admin page |
How to Add Language Support
Step 1: Configure Available Languages (System Administrator)
The default language of all blocks is English. To add more language options for translations, contact your system administrator and they will be able to add more languages following the steps in the Global Languages configuration.
Navigation path: Learn Admin Area > Global Languages
Step 2: Apply Translations to Content (Learn Administrator or Content Administrator)
- Open the relevant Stage or Mission in the Learn Admin Area.
- Locate the language dropdown (indicated by the translation symbol in the interface - details above).
- Select the target language from the dropdown.
- Input the correctly translated content for each field or block.
- Save or publish the content.
Repeat this process for each supported language required and for each piece of content that must be accessible in that language.
Note: The languages available for selection are determined by the organisation's initial purchase during the sales process. Contact your Customer Success Manager (CSM) or Customer Development Manager (CDM) if additional languages are required.
Training Assignment and Language: Cross-Module Note
The recommended method for assigning training to learners is to link a published Mission to a course record in the Assure People module. This enables due dates, recurrence, and compliance tracking to be managed centrally in Assure.
Language configuration for learning content is managed entirely within Learn. When a Mission is assigned via the Assure People module, the language the learner sees is determined by their device language setting -- not by the Assure assignment itself. Administrators must ensure translated content has been published in Learn for any language their learner population requires.
Important Notes
- The system interface (menus, labels, navigation text) supports 18 languages for structural text. If the learner's device language is not among these 18, the interface defaults to English.
- Learning content (Stages, Missions) supports 64 languages and regional variations, but translations must be provided manually by the administrator.
- The default language is English. Always ensure the default language version of every content item is complete and accurate, as it serves as the fallback for all unsupported or untranslated languages.
- Languages are continually added to Learn. If a required language is not currently available, it is likely to be included in a future release.
- Language availability is controlled by System Administrators. If a required language is not visible in the language button dropdown, contact your System Administrator to enable the language via Global Languages configuration.
- Pathways and Levels are legacy features in the Learn platform. Evotix does not actively train on Pathways as a training assignment method. Translation of Pathways and Levels follows the page-wide translation method, but the recommended focus for translation and delivery is Missions assigned via the Assure People module.

- Cross-Module Implications: This article is scoped primarily within Evotix Learn. Language configuration is managed by the System Administrator in the Learn Global Languages settings. The device language setting of the learner determines which translation is displayed in the Learn front-end app. The recommended method for assigning training is via the Assure People module (Training Needs Analysis), not via Pathways or Levels in Learn. Pathways and Levels are legacy features and do not support the recommended training assignment workflow. Translation effort should focus on Missions and Stages, which are the active content types in the recommended workflow.
