Manage translations - Type the Word

Set the classroom default

The “Default translation” is the translation that assignments and assessments will default to within this classroom. To update “Default translation”, you can head to “Settings”, and then under “Classroom”, there is a “Default translation” option.

Classroom settings with numbered arrows pointing at Settings and Default translation — You can customize the default translation by heading to "Settings" (1) and then finding "Default translation" (2) within Classroom settings

Set allowed translations

By default, students can access all translations in Type the Word, but specifying “Allowed translations” allows you to prevent your students from accessing translations you don’t approve of.

School settings with numbered arrows pointing at School and Allowed translations — You can find allowed translations under "School" (1) and then "Allowed translations" (2)

If you are using Clever or Canvas, this control may only be accessed by a district administrator or school staff.

Choose a translation on an assignment

Creating an assignment or speed assessment pre-fills “Translation” from the classroom default. Change “Translation” on that form when one passage should use a different Bible translation. Only translations in “Allowed translations” appear in the list.

Create Assignment dialog in speed assessment mode with a numbered arrow pointing at Translation — The "Translation" field you'll find when creating assignments (1)

You will find the same “Translation” field anywhere you can create an assignment.
