Hi, I am using Storyline 2 and have a doc file I have translated from English to German. I selected Translate Document, and the translation appears in an HTML window. How do I save/export that translation to a doc file for import to SL2?
Are you saying you used the Translate>Export function in Storyline to create a Word doc with the EN content and now use some third-party tool to open that file and translate it?
Thank you for getting back to me so quickly! I just opened the word file and went to Review --> Translate Document. I creates an translated HTML file, but no way to save that translation to a doc file for import back into SL2
The Word translate function(in review) is likely a dodgy way to do a translation, I would also expect that this could break the word file as it will translate other parts that shouldnt be translated.
I suppose you could select only the column though.
That said I had no problems saving as a word document. I just did a file save as.
Hm, I'm using Office 365 and the translation in Word works as expected. The translation is done on the file I originally exported from Storyline and opened in Word. The only thing I had to do is to save the translated file as .doc (not docx) and imported into Storyline.
It doesn't let me translate just the column, only if I select each cell and translate only that text. Did an HTML window open with the translation when you did it?
Thank you,
Mary C O'Sullivan
