What is Immersion Mode?


 

If a language team has added translations for the buttons and headers on FirstVoices, you can use Immersion Mode to navigate through the site in your language. When Immersion Mode is turned on, a lot of the English will disappear – but English translations, alongside audio pronunciation clips, can be accessed by using the Immersion Helper button.

How to turn on Immersion Mode



If a language site has Immersion Mode available, simply click the top right corner on Guest or your intials if you have logged in on the home page and click on the toggle to switch to "Immersion Mode"

 

You will immediately notice that navigation buttons, headers and other areas with text that was originally in English will change into your language.

As an example, this is the original main navigation bar in English:
