Radio Buttons

I need to focus on translation solutions. All training we publish must be in both English and Spanish. We have a full translation team on staff so getting the content converted is not a problem. We've used tools in the past and other services, but our business in PR and Mexico so our folks write the content that's nuetral to both dialects.Our LMS has the language pack but that only translates the global LMS interface and navigation. Courses need to have their own alternate language(s). I haven't built an entire bilingual course yet, but my thought is once I get this fundamental structure in place then simply copy the whole thing into a new Chapter. One chapter for English, one for Spanish and at the top level have two language buttons that a user could switch back and forth. The only thing I'm not sure of yet and will deal with it when the time comes is for instance if I'm on page 7 in English, and select the Spanish language button I stay on page 7. Right now my thought is if you switch languages you simply go back to page 1 of that language content. Hmm..now that I think about it I could put the language buttons on 'every' page which would allow me to target different pages each time. I digress...Yes, any demonstration or example(s) would be helpful. The more liberal approach is more than fine as I know you're busy and I really appreciate all the help so far. We can discuss translation solutions more in depth if you have a better way that what I'm thinking at a later time.Safe travels
