Hi,

My name is Isabel Brandenberger and I am a new mum of a 3 months old girl.
I'm looking forward to buy little reader, but have some questions about it before i decide to buy the program.

I've currently downloaded the trial version, and I'm wondering how to copy de curriculum. You see, we are a bilingual family(dad is mexican and I'm norwegian) and my wish was to teach both norwegian, spanish and english at the same time. Therefore I wanted to copy the curriculum, and then translate the words and make my own sound files to my norwegian and spanish versions. I would then show the same lessons in different time of the day, the same day.

My question is, is that even possible, and if it is, how do I do it?

I would enormously appreciate an answer.

I'm looking for an answer for this question as well
Bilingual house too, English not first language
I'm looking forward for LR support team to answer on this, I already started teaching the English and want to start Hebrew as soon as possible, it is very important for both lessons to be the same, so the children could do the connection quickly, especially as we don't speak English at home.
I hope to receive an answer quickly

Hello

You can definitely create your own lessons in your own language. I'm new here too so won't be able to tell you how to do it. You can record your own voice & insert your own pictures. This is one of the main reasons I bought LR & LM.

Members also upload files they have made so perhaps you can find somebody from your country who has made sample lessons. It's great that your child can learn from your own voice as well as pictures or subjects applicable to you.


I'll let you know more once I've tried a few myself.

Good luck!

Hello,
 
I'm also new here but I want to do 3 languages and here's my way of translating the categories:

1. Open Little Reader
2. Click on ADVANCED PLAY / EDIT
3. Click on Categories
4. Open the folder BK English Course (Semester 1)  (for example)
5. Click on Action Words 1 (for example)
6. Left click on clap (for example)
7. Select Save As...
8. Rename the card and save it
9. Now you have two clap cards, select the new one and make sure it has the name you just gave it. (double click on it the check on the OTHER tab)
10. Change the text and other things, record your voice or even add photo's, vids, sounds etc. delete all the sound files you don't want, but don't delete mp3 files that have an fx in the name like "bk wild animals fx - cat1.mp3" those you want to keep, it's for example the sound of a cat.
11. Save the card and repeat 6..10 for the entire category
12. Left click on Action Words 1 (for example)
13. Select Save As and rename your new category.
14. Now the two categories have double the amount of cards they should have (both categories have the english cards and the translations' cards) so for the Action Words 1 category, delete all the translated cards and for the translated catgory delete all the english ones.
15. Repeat for all the 60 odd BK Categories.

Once you've got all the categories translated, you wait, there's a new version of little reader coming out that will allow you to select categories and auto generate a course, but heck knows when the new version is coming, I'm more excited for Little Musician to come out!!!

I hope this atleast half helps, but if someone has a better way I'd be just as glad to hear it.

Hello everyone!

In case you haven't stumbled upon our Support Helpdesk yet, you may want to check this article for a basic outline on how you can translate your Little Reader lessons:

http://support.brillkids.com/entries/20622132-how-can-i-translate-my-little-reader-english-curriculum-into-the-language-i-want-to-teach

Thanks for sharing your tips, MamaOfWill -- your method is a good way of going about the process. The most important thing to take note when translating is that your translated words need to have a different "word file name" from the original English words -- otherwise you'll find that your English course lessons has some stray non-English words mixed in the lesson  wacko

To help make the task of checking filenames easier, you can enable Little Reader to display each word's file name by going to TOOLS > Additional Settings and by ticking the box for "Show word file names in word lists."

Here's an alternative to MamaOfWill's steps 12 to 14 that you may want to try:

 > Create a new Category (click on NEW at the bottom of the Category list) and label it as "Action Words 1 (Spanish)" or other variation

 > Go back to the English category you've just translated and highlight / select all your translated words in that category

 > Drag-and-drop your selection into the new Category that you created

Remember that you can further organize your categories and playlists by dragging categories up and down the list and putting your translated work in separate folders  yes

In case you are encountering a specific type of problem when working on your translations, feel free to post at the LR Tech Support board or write to us directly at support[at]brillkids[dot]com
