Make built-in course elements, such as buttons and lesson headers, say what you want them to say by customizing the default text labels. Improve accessibility by translating labels for hidden user-interface elements in Rise.

You can edit Rise labels using the on-screen label editor, or you can export a label set, customize it with an XLIFF editor, and import it back into Rise. Details for both are below.

Please note, in both scenarios you’ll need to preview or publish the course in order to see your customized labels in action.

Open the course you want to edit, then click Settings in the upper right corner of the screen and select the Labels tab.

To switch all the text labels to a different language or a custom label set, use the drop-down list at the top of the editor to make a selection.

Note: If you select a language from the drop-down list or import text labels for one of the supported languages, it will also localize your video player.

Or, to customize individual text labels, click Create New at the top of the editor to create a new set of text labels, enter a name for your custom labels when prompted, and click OK.

Tip: Create a New Label Set When You Need to Customize Text Labels

When you edit text labels, the changes affect all your Rise courses that use the same label set. For example, if you edit the built-in English label set, every course that uses that label set will automatically get the same changes.

We recommend creating a new label set when you need to customize text labels so you won’t accidentally change the labels in other Rise courses. To change the name of a label set, just hover over it in the drop-down list and click the pencil icon that appears. To delete a label set, hover over it and click the trash icon.

Enter new text in the Custom Text column for each label you want to change. Click the Reset button to replace any changes with the default text.

Note: If you don't want the Start/Resume button to appear at all, leave the field blank.

When you’re done, click Close in the upper right corner to return to your course outline.

Screen reader announcement labels are those labels used by screen readers to describe user-interface elements, things like buttons and links. It's important to translate these along with your other labels to ensure maximum accessibility for all learners.

Screen reader announcement labels are automatically translated along with your other labels when you select a new language. If you create a new label set, you'll need to manually translate them.

To modify individual labels, select the Screen Reader Announcement tab to access the full list. The list is organized into groups: Global, Navigation, Media Players, and individual block type. The Description field has specific information on where the label is applied.

As with other labels, click the Reset button to replace any changes with the default text.

This is a great option if you use professional translators, an online translation service, or a computer program to localize content. Export a label set, customize it, then import it back into Rise.

Open the course you want to edit, then click Settings in the upper right corner of the screen and select the Labels tab.

Go to the drop-down list at the top of the label editor, hover over a label set, then click the download icon to export the label set to your computer. This download all labels, including accessibility labels.

Tip: Rise Uses XLIFF 1.2

Rise exports XLIFF files, which are special XML files commonly used for translating content. Rise uses XLIFF version 1.2.

After exporting a label set, use a web app, computer program, or professional translation service to edit your XLIFF file.

Screen reader announcement labels have an ally prefix for easy identification. Your translation tool of choice should set the language code for your selected language. The language code controls how screen readers pronounce labels.

To import your custom labels back into Rise, go to the drop-down list at the top of the label editor, click Upload from XLIFF, and browse to the modified label set on your computer.

When prompted, give your custom label set a name and click OK.

Your new label set will appear in the drop-down list under User Label Sets, and it’ll be available in any Rise course you build. Please note, you can't reset text for user label sets.

When you’re done, click Close in the upper right corner to return to your course outline.
