Is there a way to change the translation order? I have no problem studying in english but it always shows the french translation. I donā€™t speak french, I am however a native german speaker and it would be nice to see the german translation as well as the english translation

Hi @waffletastics

It should only show the Italian as it is testing on English and Italian, not French.

Can you attach a screen-shot, please?

Unless you mean after answering.
I guess it was set up that way as it was created by a French speaker and it is a polyglot course.

It also depends on the order of the columns in the database and we have no control over that.

There are other single pair languages.

Have a look at this list and chose one by ā€œdeactivated userā€ or where I am a Contributor.

Thanks for your screen-shots @waffletastics. Well done catching a fleeting screen!

All I can suggest you look for another course by ā€œDeactivated Userā€ (once known as Easy Academy")
[See above]

The other courses by him are by categories.

Hope that helps.

Further to what @DW7 already wrote, i. e. to make it clearer: you can just ignore the French text, @waffletastics. Itā€™s really only a translation in an additional language that is being shown. IOW, the English and Italian texts are both there, all the time. Itā€™s a Polyglot course after all - these often work this way from what Iā€™ve seen, some even mix translations in different languages, i. e. there is no fixed source language ā€¦

Being a German myself, I actually quite like it the way it is on this course which teaches Dutch from English, but also shows a German translation for all its items (sadly you only see those after starting the course):

However you canā€™t just replace the (additional) French translation with a German one - the courses only show whatever the course creator supplied.

Thanks @Olaf.Rabbachin for reiterating my comments and making further suggestions.

Are there any ex-Easy Academy courses in French and German (or German and French) that @waffletastics might be interested in?

I suppose you mean IT-EN with IT-DE. :slight_smile:
No, Iā€™m afraid donā€™t know any others - the NL-course is the only one Iā€™ve come across so far.

But on the off-chance: Iā€™d be generally interested in courses (particularly but not exclusively ones that teach IT. ES, RU, SV, TR, NL or FR) based on EN (or even based on any of the others above) and that also include a German column. :grinning:

@DW7 haha yes I was quite impressed myself^^

@Olaf.Rabbachin no I know I can ignore the french text. My question was wether there was an option to change the order of the additional languages (excluding english - since it is the main language) so german was the one displayed instead of french. seeing as my main language is german, it would be nice to have german in addition to english.
Iā€™ll take a look at his italian course, thank you!

Hi @waffletastics,

It looks like no one replied to your question last year.

Are you still interested? We might be able to help.

Firstly you could change your ā€œnative languageā€ in the web by changing ā€œI speakā€.
