Translation - import does not change any text
Dec 06, 2016
Hello all,
So I exported the text of a very long module in order to translate it. This was done a while ago. Just recently, I received the translated file and by this time I already have the updated version of Storyline 2.
I had a problem when I tried to import the translated file - it all ran without any problems until I got the "Congratulations" message. When I looked at the project, the text was still in English. After looking around here I did not find any way to fix it.
Then I said "Let's export the text again to see how it looks". When I opened the file, I realized there was a small difference between this newer version and the original one: under the "ID(DO NOT EDIT)" column, the tag showed e.g. {Bmp_5rE8BOJ66z6} in the original file, while it showed {bmp_5rE8BOJ66z6} in the new one. So I did a match case replace all in Word from "Bmp" to "bmp" in the original, translated file, imported the text again on Storyline 2 and voilá! It does show the new language now, correctly :-)
Wanted to share this possible solution to this issue.

Thanks Miguelangel for sharing that idea and solution here with us!
When you said updated, I wanted to confirm were you updating from Storyline 1 to Storyline 2, or a recent update within Storyline 2? I could imagine that within SL1 to SL2 some things may be a bit different. :)
