Language Equivalency for Configured Courses

By default, Skillsoft provides compliance courses in multiple languages. If you assign the English version of the course to a global audience, when a learner launches the course, it displays in their default Percipio language provided the course exists in that language, otherwise it displays in English.

Percipio allows you to configure a course and each of its language versions. One configuration may include an introduction, a policy statement or a summary, or any combination of these components. A course can have multiple configurations.

Behavior for configured courses

If you want the learner to see a course in their default Percipio language, when that course has multiple configurations, you must:

  • Create a configuration for each language version you want learners to see even if that means creating a configuration for a language without any components. See the example.
  • Supply Skillsoft with a language mapping file. The language mapping file tells Percipio compliance which configured language version of the course to display to the user.

Create the Language Mapping file

The language mapping file tells Percipio compliance which configured language version to display to a learner when you assign an English version of a configured course. Each configuration retains its original course number, but each configuration gets a new course ID. Percipio needs to know which course ID's correspond to each other so it displays the right configuration.

You can create a brand new language mapping file or update an existing mapping file if you need changes.

To create the language mapping file:

  1. Download this template file. If you need assistance completing the template file, you can view this sample file.
  2. For each grouping of language equivalencies, define a unique Grouping ID. For example, if you have 3 courses each with 2 languages, you would need to create 3 separate Grouping IDs, 2 courses for each of 3 Grouping IDs.
  3. As you complete the template, if you have the Course UUID, you do not need to specify the Course Title, Course Code or the Owner ID. However, if you do not have the Course UUID, you do need all the other data points.
  4. Specify Translated in the Relationship column to specify the language mapping.
  5. Once you have created your template, save it and send it to Skillsoft Support.
  6. Skillsoft creates the mappings and responds when it are complete.

CSV File Values

CSV Column Format Where to Find
Grouping ID Enter an alphanumeric value that identifies which courses belong together. A value you define.
Course UUID

An alphanumeric value identifying the course, for example:

77e42a90-b803-42ec-b06b-611341d942f0

Pull this from the All Content Listing report. This is an optional field, but if specified, it makes the process easier.
Course Title Title of the configuration

The easiest place to see all your course titles is from within Content and then Content Configuration.

Course Code

xxx_xxx_x00_xx_enus

xxx_xxx_x00_xx_eses

The easiest place to see all your course codes is from within Content and then Content Configuration.

Owner ID 123456789

This is your organization's ID.

Relationship

Enter one of the following values:

  • Translated
  • Removed

Enter Translated when you want to create a language mapping.

Enter Removed if you want to remove that course from the language mapping.
