How do I create a Mastery Connect item or passage in a different language?

In Mastery Connect, as a teacher or other user without administrative permissions, you can create an item or passage in a different language. When a non-English language is selected for an item or passage, the text-to-speech tool reads text using the pronunciation of the selected language.

Note: You can also create an English-language item and tag partial sections of the item or passage text in another supported language.
