Please make partially translated content available again

My daughter and her math teacher discovered that suddenly only math courses for grades 1-3 are available in Norwegian. I reached out to support, which replied promptly, that the Norwegian site has been upgraded to the new non-English site architecture. I was also encouraged to raise the matter with the community, which is why I am writing this post.

This change means that the content that is only partially translated will no longer appear on the Norwegian site - now only content that is 100% translated into Norwegian will appear.

I suspect this also affects other languages, there is a post regarding Spanish content here:

https://khanacademy.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360057159071-Math-Content-by-year-is-not-shown-in-Spanish-Version-Contenido-de-Matem%C3%A1ticas-por-grado-no-aparece

I think this is a bad move. Speaking for my daughter, she is good enough in English to get around the partially translated content, but not the English only content. She is also way ahead of her math class and needs the extra challenges she got by doing more advanced classes on Khan Academy. I suspect she is not the only one.

This also happened without an announcement, which is a bit unfortunate - at least it made it difficult to understand what had happened.

I am writing this post to petition to make the partially content available again - in any language. If it is important to distinguish fully translated from partially translated courses, this could be flagged in the menu.

Please upvote if you would like partially translated content to be available again!

Best regards

I have just checked again my Teacher account and I can still assign homeworks with the content by year, so students can work on this content if they follow the link of the homework.

Also, after checking one of my student´s account i saw that he can still check the content if he clicks on the link on his class. However, if he checks the menu in the top left, he cannot see the content by year.

This means that he is able to access the full content for his year, however, he cannot access this using the menu in the top left corner. This is a small problem for us, as we trained them to look for additional content using this menu (and the training videos for teachers include this menu), so it would be desirable if we could have this menu back.
