Translated Immersive Labs Workforce Exercising, Crisis Sim, and Custom scenarios

Machine-translated Workforce Exercising and Crisis Sim content, custom scenarios, and the ability for customers to refine translations to ensure accuracy and to translate custom scenarios.

All Immersive labs Workforce and Crisis Sim scenarios now include translated versions for all of the languages supported by the platform (English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Japanese). Customers can also translate custom scenarios. Any future Immersive Labs Workforce and Crisis Sim content that is created will be automatically translated in the background upon creation.

Attachment Descriptions

During a crisis sim/workforce exercise, users can now see a description of image attachments and a transcript for video/audio attachments in the ‘All attachments’ area. This serves as a tool for accessibility and as a way for users to get a translated description of the attachment if the attachment content is not in their native language.

Supported Languages

The following languages are currently supported by the Immersive Labs platform:

• English
• German
• Spanish
• Portuguese
• French
• Italian
• Japanese

To change the default scenario language (English) into one of the supported languages, click the Language (globe) icon and then select the desired language from the list of supported languages:

When you open a scenario, it appears in your selected/default language. The Language area on the scenario page indicates the selected language, but also - if you hover your mouse over the Information icon - you can see that the scenario is also available in the other supported languages.:

Once you have selected the new language, you will see a message box in the new language explaining limitations of the  translated scenario (in this example, Spanish):

Once you start the scenario, note that the scenario content has been translated to the selected language (left pane), but that any injects that are contained within an image are not translated. However, you can click the Show Description button, which contains a translation of the text within the image:

Translating Custom Scenarios

All Immersive Labs-created exercises and scenarios are already translated. You can also translate custom scenarios. For information on how to create custom scenarios, please refer to the Creating Custom Scenarios and Creating Custom Workforce Scenarios articles.

When creating a new custom scenario, there are three steps to complete before you publish the scenario: 

• Build 
• Review
• Translate

Once you have built and reviewed your custom scenario, you use the Translate step to select whether or not to translate the scenario. To translate:

1. Click the 3. Translate step from the navigation.
2. Select Yes or No to auto-translate the scenario.
   • If you select No, you can click Publish to publish your scenario to your catalog.
   • If you select Yes, your scenario content will be locked and you will be not allow to make any more changes. Our auto-translation tool will translate the scenario in the languages available in our platform. This operation might takes some time. When the translations have been generated you will receive a notification to return to the builder and publish the scenario.

The translation will take several minutes. The Draft Scenarios section will show that the status of the scenario is Pending translations.

Editing a Translation

Once your scenario has been auto-translated, the status of your scenario will change to Translations ready to edit, and you can review it and - if necessary - edit the translation, which allows customers to refine translations further to ensure their accuracy.

To review and edit a translation:

1. From the Draft Scenarios section, click Review translations.
2. From the View scenario in drop-down list, select the language that you want to review and / or edit the translation.
   
   The scenario content is displayed in the selected language for your review.
3. If you need or want to edit the translation, click the Edit Translations button.
4. Once you are finished editing a section, click Confirm to save your changes.
   
   
   
   
5. When you are done editing, click Publish to publish the scenario.
