Multiple language support for marketplace
under review
Jordan Ell
As either an educator or employer, I want to be able to tag my content, experiences and projects, with more than 1 language. Not that the content itself is written in more than 1 language, but I want to be able to indicate that I can support learners in multiple languages with my content.
I'd also like to be able to browse the marketplaces with filtering multiple languages at a time and also to set my portal or company to have multiple support languages on by default so when I visit the marketplace those are automatically toggled on for me.

Margarita Tiurina We scoped out an improvement for this quite a while ago and it is still in the backlog for the future. We've hesitated to implement due to lack of demand. Do you have a sense of the scale of usage, just from users you've interacted with?

Emily Masching Thanks for asking! Our Francophone community really grew in 2024, and we would love to keep bringing in more educators. Right now, 8 CAPFO institutions are using the platform (or have access to it) in French, but their main focus is still on the open marketplace. Some of these educators teach both Francophone and Anglophone students, so it's important to have projects in both languages, and especially to highlight the Francophone mentorship/support needed/available (depending on whether it’s an experience or a project). We currently have around 10 active Francophone educators using the platform regularly. Our focus on inclusivity and support is a huge asset for these institutions, as they don’t have the same resources as Anglophone students.

Margarita Tiurina hopefully this makes sense.

Jordan Ell sounds great, thank you! If we can make it a bit more visible on the project page, that would amazing too
