Hi all!
This is the first time I have contacted you. I am a Spanish vocational training teacher and some time ago I discovered Xerte. I ran some tests with my LMS, which was giving me problems with another authoring tool, and the results were excellent, so I have started to prepare my first project with a local installation of Xerte 3.14_(git_v3.14.4-9-gda5b5b31f) with xampp on Windows 11. My intention is to export it as SCORM 1.2 and offer it to my students through our LMS service.

I have had problems installing the language pack 3.14_xot_nottingham_es-ES. I cannot do it through the management page. I am not getting any response. I have seen that some of you have also had problems with the Dutch package. I have been able to move forward by unzipping the package and placing the files in the different folders. It is not the best solution, but it works for me so far.

My next problem is when I want to use some of the page templates. I see in the wiki that there are language options at the top level of these pages, but they only appear in my installation in some cases. It would be essential for me on the Interactivity > Quiz page, but the option to translate the messages does not appear. Could this be a consequence of my problems installing the Spanish language pack?

My attempts to translate directly the texts in the files where I found the original messages have been unsuccessful. I would greatly appreciate any help in making it possible to put the texts in Spanish in any type of page, or at least on the quiz page, using the general option that should be available, but which I do not have.

Best regards.

I am not sure that I understand what you mean with 'I see in the wiki that there are language options at the top level of these pages'. However, maybe this helps:
The language options are turned off by default. You need to toggle the checkbox at the bottom of the editor to enable them.



I hope this helps.

As for installing th elanguage pack, did you enable th php zip extension in XAMPP?

Thank you very much. I'm afraid I've paid the price for being a novice! I searched so much through the menu on the right that I didn't see the box at the bottom.

I'm still exploring the possibilities of Xerte. Congratulations on the initiative. I'm finding it fascinating.
