Practical tips for AI-enhanced translations and mlang tagging<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What is a mlang tag? <\/strong>Mlang tags let you include multiple language versions of the same content in one place. MyCourses shows the version that matches the user\u2019s interface language. Get to know mlang tags in our instruction pages<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When to use this:<\/strong> You may create multilingual text to any sections or activity of your course page. Mlang tags work across MyCourses. The most common way to use mlang tags in MyCourses it to add mlang tags manually around your text by clicking the mlang-button in the text editor. The short cut we are proposing in this post is to skip the manual button-pushing, and ask AI to create the tags for you. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workflow<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Draft your content in one language (or paste existing text).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Ask Aalto AI Assistant to translate and add mlang tags.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Proofread translations for accuracy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Copy the AI\u2019s output and paste it into the MyCourses text editor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Save and preview with different language settings to confirm it switches correctly.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Example prompt<\/strong> “Translate and convert the text below into a multilingual (fi, en, sv) format using Moodle mlang tags.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
