Chinese course publish size 45 times larger than UK version - Why?

Hi Niels!

Are you utilizing the latest update of Presenter '13, which is Update 4? There was a lot of updates to publishing in that release and I just want to make sure we eliminate any basics first.

Hej Leslie,

Yes, I am currently using the newest version UPDATE 4. I have checked to see if I use something special (like a larger video or so), but I can not find anything. Most is made as powerpoint slides where the text has been translated.

And I know that the font is a lot bigger, but not 45 times.

Anything else I can look for?

PS: "Hej" is "Hi" in Danish :-)

Hej Niels Peter,

So you're importing a translated PowerPoint file into Storyline? Is that correct? Is the PowerPoint file significantly bigger as well?

Hi,

No, the powerpoint pptx and ppta files in the 2 different languages are approx same size.

Ah just noticed this is a Presenter question not a Storyline :) Does the PowerPoint contain smartart or audio and video that could be larger due to the translation?

Hi again,

Is it possible to convert a Studio 13 project easy into Storyline?

Is it possible to get Articulate to look at it (compare the UK vs CN?

My Customer is going LIVE in China on 22nd, and it is a MAJOR problem that the main file is 15 MB (where the UK edition is 338 KB).

You are welcome to check out a similar conversation on converting on this thread. Not a one-to-one conversion for sure.

Also, you are welcome to share the file here if you would like support to take a look at the sizing issue.

I have shared the files with the support.

Meanwhile I have tried to convert the course from Presenter 13 to Storyline 2. The size is very small, and I have now sent the SL2 version to the customer to see if they can accept this version.

I'll keep you updated as soon as I know anything.

Thank you very much for the update Niels! I can see where you case (00439161) and that Wilbert is looking into your issue.
