Hello - I have a student asking if his course materials in canvas can be translated into Spanish. Can anyone assist if this is a possibility and if so, how to make that happen.
Thank you,
Sam

Hi @reeves1 Welcome to the Canvas Community!
Canvas users can set their language preference in Canvas, and this will change the language of the Canvas user interface, but not to any files or other content added to Canvas. https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-10911-4144717349?sr=search&searchId=eddc0cb1-f837-41e9-88a0...
For the text added to content, or files added to the classroom, students would need to use a third-party translation tool. It is possible with Google Chrome and Firefox to set a language preference.
