How to change language of pre-installed interface elements
(2)

Hello everyone,
for my captivate project I use the pre-installed master slides for my quiz. I need the quiz in English and in German, German is the installed language of Captivate. I have been able to change everything except for the labelling of the buttons of the drop down menu on the quiz slides (see attached screenshot, “Auswählen”). Can someone help me how I can change the labelling of the button (not a normal button)? The buttons are not visible on the master slides and I couldn’t find anything in the skin or object style preferences.

Thanks a lot in advance!

You are clearly not using the New version 12, which I detect based on your screenshot and mentioning Master slides. Is it possible to tell the exact version you are using, because the Theme ‘Blue Veracity’ is the default theme for all releases under CP2019. You find the full version number under Help, About Captivate.

What you label as ‘buttons’ are embedded individual answer boxes, and those cannot be reached on the quizzing master slides, indeed. Only the answer area can be edited, a lack of control which I already entered multiple times as feature request.

I have been translating lot of projects and quizzes (using the English version) and just busy with writing out a blog about translating quizzes in the new version (where t is a lot more complicated). I am really stupefied at the translation in German of what is labeled as ‘Type item x…’ by ‘Auswählen’ which makes no sense? As ‘Flamen’ I understand German quite well.

My recommendation, because I really do not know a way to translate this, which I always use: never type in answers or questions, but use the CSV or GIFT import. It makes management of quizzes in multiple languages a lot easier.
