Edit course translations
Learn how to edit course translations via the web app.
This article covers the new course translation experience. If you're using the legacy experience, you'll need to manually add your translation again to apply any edits to your course translation.
We recommend completing all edits in the original language before translating a course. This ensures that changes are consistent across all translations, and you won’t have to redo changes in each translation.
When you're editing a course's translation, you can only edit its content in terms of text and media files.
