A language view displays the content within a specific language of a channel. You can add a language view to both custom single-view and custom multi-view custom channels that are in a Draft, Unpublished Changes, or Published status in Percipio.

To add a language view

1. From the Admin menu, select CONTENT > Custom Channels. The Custom Channels page displays.
2. Locate the custom channel to which you want to add a language view.
3. Click the channel name, or click  >  Edit. The channel page displays.



4. If your custom channel is a multi-view channel, set the channel view by selecting the specific technology, version, and/or expertise level from the drop-downs in the header.
Note: Content added to this channel view only displays when the selections here match the learner's selections.

For example, you create a copy of the Outlook channel and select the following options:

Language: English
Technology: Outlook
Version: 2016 (Mac)
Expertise level: Beginner

Setting these options opens the English: Outlook 2016 (Mac) for Beginners view. Content within this view is only visible to learners if they select the same options. So if you add a Setting Up course to the English: Outlook 2016 (Mac) for Beginners view, learners who select a different language, technology, version, or expertise level do not see that specific course; you must add it to each view.
5. On the header, click the Language drop-down.



6. Click Add Language. The language box displays:



If the channel is already available in one or more supported languages, those languages are not listed in the language box.

7. Select the language(s) you want the channel to be available in and click Add.

A new language view is added for each selected language.

8. In the Language drop down, select the language view you wish to edit.
9. Click  Show this view to learners to make the channel view available to learners when you publish the channel.
10. Note: You cannot hide the English view of a channel.
    
11. Add content to the language view. To identify courses in a local language, see Find a course in a different language.
Note: Language views do not publish and are not available to learners until you add at least one content item.
12. Add content items:
    • If the custom channel you copied has multiple technologies, versions, and/or expertise levels, see Edit a Multi-view Custom Channel.
    • If the custom channel you copied does not have multiple technologies, versions, and/or expertise levels, see Edit a Single-view Custom Channel.
