Understanding Multilingual Courses in 5 Minutes

Are you looking to expand your market and sell courses to students worldwide? You're likely wondering how to create a single course that can be viewed in multiple languages. This article will help you understand the core concept and the basic process to get started.

The Core Concept: Multilingual Courses

On LDT online course, a multilingual course is not a single course with multiple languages inside it, but rather multiple SEPARATE courses, each in a different language.

• Example:

• Course A: "Digital Marketing (English)"

• Course B: "Digital Marketing (Vietnamese)"

• Course C: "Digital Marketing (Spanish)"

Each of these courses will have its content, title, and description written in the corresponding language. This is the most optimal solution for effective management and operation.

Why Is This Parallel Setup Necessary?

This approach provides significant strategic benefits:

• Optimal Student Experience: Students will only see and learn content in the language they chose, creating a personalized and professional experience. This helps avoid confusion and increases satisfaction.

• SEO Optimization: Search engines like Google will index and rank each language version of your course separately. This makes your content more accessible to specific search queries from a global audience.

• Easy Management: You can easily update or change the content of one language version without affecting the others.

A Simple 3-Step Process to Get Started

Don't worry, this process is very straightforward. Here's a quick overview of the 3 steps:

Step 1: Create the Original Course

• Start by creating a complete course in one language (e.g., the English version).

Step 2: Duplicate + Change the Language

• Use the Duplicate Course feature to copy the original course.

• Then, simply change the title, description, and content of the duplicated course to the new language (e.g., Vietnamese).

Step 3: Link to Shopify Products

• Create a single product on Shopify with variants for each language.

• Link each product variant to the corresponding course in LDT Online Courses.

A Few Key Tips to Avoid Errors

• Use Standard Language Names: Always use a standard language name (e.g., (English), (Vietnamese), (Spanish)) in course titles and product variants for easy management and to prevent confusion.

• Double-Check the Links: After setup, ensure that each product variant is correctly linked to the corresponding course in the right language.
