With our language settings, students and teachers are able to view course content in Spanish or English. You can assign content to your Section and it will automatically be displayed to students in their preferred language!

Choose Your Preferred Language

In your Account Settings under the Profile Settings tab, set your preferred language using the dropdown menu. All available translated assignments and student-facing resources will default to the language that you've chosen.

Choose the Preferred Language for Students in Your Section

You can configure language settings for each student in your Section. From the Roster app, click on Manage; on the following page, use the dropdown to the right of each student's name to select a preferred language for course content:

If your student is viewing content in a different language than you, you will see a banner giving you the option to view the content in the same language as your student.
