How can students update their language settings?
|
Students using Sora in a web browser at soraapp.com can easily update Sora’s display language from the welcome screen or the new Language settings option within the menu. |
|
|
In the app for Android or iOS, Sora will automatically display in the language to which the student’s device is set.
|
|
Note: The displayed language updates Sora’s interface (the book reader, audiobook player, in-app help, and navigation), but does not change the language of the books your students can borrow. If you’re interested in content in a specific language, please contact your Account Manager.

How can I translate my curated and automated collections?
|
|
From the CURATE section of OverDrive Marketplace, you can add translated collection names and descriptions to of any of your school’s curated or automated lists. When editing or creating a collection, simply select the desired language from the Languagedrop-down and type in the corresponding translation for the collection name and description (Curate permission required). The collection names and descriptions that appear on Sora’s Explore tab will then dynamically update based on each students’ language settings.
