FAQs
Q: Will the quality be guaranteed in all languages?
A: We're working on giving better results in most of the languages. Currently, some languages are marked as Beta, meaning they might not work fully as expected, giving some words or phrases translated incorrectly.
Q: Will these changes affect existing H5Ps I created?
A: No, your existing H5Ps won't be affected by this, since Language selection is only valid for newly created Smart Imports.
Q: Is it possible to change the language after creating the content?
A: Not currently. Once the content has been created, the selected language cannot be changed.
