What will be printed on a certificate:

Whether your LMS uses the default standard certificates provided by LatitudeLearning or has engaged Latitude to customize them, it is important to understand what you can expect to print on a certificate. Some key points to know:

• LMS Administrators can customize their certificates with a logo from the Administration page under Site Management > Portal Information > LMS Branding. All other customizations require paid development effort by Latitude ClientCare.
• Currently the certificate display process does not support the option to provide separate certificates by user preferred language or other variables. By default, all certificates are US English-based.
• Static information on the certificate is provided in English. This is information such as headings, labels, and other texts that do not vary by certificate.
• Dynamic information on the certificates is pulled in depending on variables such as the course or certification name, the user name, dates, etc. These fields will display information based on the user’s preferred language and will display the texts that the LMS administrators have provided as translations for particular field, such as Course Name, in that language. In the case of completion dates, the date format will be that of the selected language, such as dd/mm/yyyy for European languages rather than mm/dd/yyyy for US English. This means that in the current design, static texts would be in English, while dynamic information could be pulled in from an alternate preferred language resulting in mixed language on the certificate.
• If you request a custom certificate, it is important to relay special language requirements and other desired behaviors to Latitude ClientCare before development work begins. After it is completed, testing language behavior is critical during the warranty period. After warranty, charges to correct the behavior could be warranted.
• Portals with customized certificates that have passed Warranty with user acceptance may incur operational support charges for any new changes to the certificate that are not a result of a software assurance issue.
