Overview

Custom HTML blocks previously sat outside Thrive's auto-translation engine, so learners in non-English locales could hit a block of untranslated English in an otherwise fully translated space or piece of content. This release closes that gap.

What's new

  • Custom HTML blocks are now included automatically in Thrive's auto-translation engine
  • No admin action is needed, translation applies on top of existing auto-translation
  • This release covers automatic translation only, there is no learner-triggered option

Why / benefits

  • Removes a real gap in language coverage for global organisations
  • Keeps the learner experience consistent, with no untranslated islands of content
  • Reduces the need for admins to manually build region-specific HTML blocks

How it works

  • When a learner views a space or piece of content in a language other than the one it was authored in, any custom HTML block is translated automatically alongside the rest of the content
  • No new settings or admin steps are required

Use cases

  • A compliance space with a custom-branded HTML block summarising a policy is now automatically translated for every learner, regardless of language setting.

People/personas

  • Learners in global, multi-language organisations get the most value from this, particularly where HTML blocks carry branded or region-specific content
