The Course Translator enables course creators and content admins to automatically translate existing courses into multiple languages using AI. This removes the manual burden of localizing content and helps organizations scale learning across global teams faster.
With just a few clicks, you can generate a translated version of your course — directly from the Studio — and manage it alongside your original material.
With the Course Translator, you can:
Translate text content into multiple languages using AI (images, videos, and other non-text content are not translated, they are retained as-is).
Choose from a wide range of languages to localize your learning materials for diverse audiences.
Easily manage translated courses as "child courses" visually linked to the original.
Filter courses by language in Studio and Learnster U for efficient management.
ℹ️ Course Translator is available as an add-on. If you're interested, please contact your Customer Success Manager for more information.

Best practices for using Course Translator:
Always review AI-translated content, especially when tone or cultural nuance matters.
Review the content that is excluded from translation process such as images, videos etc, and update if necessary in the translated course.
Language Tagging and Filtering
To streamline discovery and organization:
All translated courses are automatically tagged with a language indicator.
You can also manually tag existing courses by going to the Information tab in the course editor.
Language filters are available in both Studio and Learnster U.
Only courses with assigned language tags appear in filtered results.
