How to Translate in Immersive Reader
Step 1 In Canvas, click the Immersive Reader button at the top of a content page. The course homepage will not have this button.
Navigate to the first content page of a module to access Immersive Reader.
Step 2 In Immersive Reader, click the Reading Preferences (book) icon at the top right of the screen.
Step 3 In the menu that appears, choose a language in the Translate section, then click the ‘Document’ toggle to translate the entire
document. Alternatively, if you choose ‘By word,’ the page will stay in English and the user can click each word to translate it into the chosen language.
In the example image, the entire document is translated into the Spanish dialect spoken in Mexico.
Changes are automatic, so you don’t need to hit a save button!
