FAQ

How does Sana handle course translation?

Sana offers the capability to translate courses in an instant using the Translate capability in the options of the course. During translation, Sana is able to preserve all the interactive blocks, polls, questions, images, text formatting, reflections, answer options, key takeways, branding and images when machine translating a course.

Once the translated course is ready (generally within 1-2 seconds) reviewers or collaborators can be added to that.

We really want to run our tools on a course export to ensure consistency of the translation. How can we do that?

You can use the export feature in Sana to export the machine translated version of the course in PDF. Once the PDF is analyzed or a search is run on the PDF, the editors can selectively make the changes using the Sana editor.
