We are happy to share that ThingLink editor is now available in Spanish, French, Arabic and Russian. This update will make ThingLink more accessible to millions of more educators and learners around the world, who can now easily create interactive visuals and document daily projects using ThingLink in their native language.

How does ThingLink editor work: a quick summary of the four tag types

1. Add text and media

This is a great default tag that can include text, photos, recorded or uploaded audio, links, or any of their combinations. Any text description will also be available in the Immersive Reader.

2. Add text label

Text labels help guide viewer’s attention and highlight details in the background image or video. 

3. Embed media

This tag type works for embedding resources from other websites, such as videos, forms, slideshows, quizzes, or maps.

4. Create tour

Helps you create a transition from one scene to another. For example, a map can lead to 360 images or videos of a place.

Example: Glarus 360 by Glarner Heimatbuch
