Understand the multilingual platform - VisuoLab Docs

VisuoLab is multilingual: each institution defines the written languages and sign languages available in its installation. It is also multimodal: content may combine text, video, images and other formats.

Four layers to distinguish

Layer	Example	Where to manage it
Fixed interface texts	Buttons, menus, field labels and messages	Static Texts
Database and institutional texts	Categories, educational levels, FAQ and area descriptions	Object Texts
Sign language translation of the platform	Video explaining an area or an element supported for translation	Sign Language
User-published content	Text, description and video in a resource	The resource form and content

Example: “Save” is an interface text; “Literature” is a registered option; a video explaining a section is a platform translation; a video inside a V-Book belongs to the published content.

Written language and sign language

Choosing Portuguese for the interface does not determine the sign language of materials. These are configured separately. The local team decides which versions to offer and organizes review for each. Enabled languages also let users translate information entered in some forms. This does not mean all published content is translated automatically.

Discover Translations

Tab	Purpose
Object Texts	Translate records organized in tables.
Sign Language	Associate videos with supported records.
Static Texts	Review language-key values in the frontend.
Configure languages	Activate languages and set the default.

Translations with four tabs, target language and progress cards.

Organize the local team

Define who reviews texts, produces and validates videos, and enters versions in the platform. Record the target language and location of each translation to support checking. Configure installation languages →
