Add Korean as second Audioscript tab?
Aug 01, 2017
Dear Community,
I am very new to e-Learning but the objective mandated is to provide a learning experience in English, mostly, but have ready the translated content in Korean as a scaffold for better understanding.
How would we accomplish the following, some or all?
1) Add second audioscript tab to display the Korean text in addition to the existing English audioscript tab. Or is there way for the audioscript to dropdown to show available languages—English and Korean?
2) Or is there a closed caption or subtitle track(s) that can be added and toggled?
3) Next phase would be dubbing the spoken audio in Korean. Is there a secondary audio track that can be toggled?
4) Thirdly, to make available each slide in Korean that can be toggled between it and the English slide, if desired.
5) Finally, to make available the outline in Korean as well.
The hope is that the product can be layered with each component (agenda, main slide, audio, audioscript and/or CC, and outline) being two or more languages and able to toggle at once or individually. The focus is allow most comfortable language for the learner at the time of learning, in visual or auditory modality.
If I can get #1 accomplished that will be a huge step. Thank y'all for your insights.

Much of what you are trying to do can be done using variables. First you'd need to create a language variable that can toggle between English and Korean. This can trigger either the whole content or just slide by slide between the two languages.
For #1 I'm not aware of a way to add another narration script to the built in one. If you are going to show a script all the time I would build it into the slide area and not use the built in player narration pane. That way you can use the variable to toggle the language being shown.
#2 is essentially what I described in #1. Storyline 360 (and I believe SL3?) have a new CC function but I have not used it.
#3. You can have multiple language audio tracks. These also can be controlled by the language variable.
#4. You can do that but it might be a little tedious. You would need to put a button on each slide to toggle the language variable. That could make your slides a little cluttered but it is doable. In my experience we've just added a slide at the beginning of the training asking the learner to select their language. This is just a button to toggle the language variable. It doesn't allow the user to jump back and forth though this has never been an issue for me. Once set you can design your slides to read the selected language and display the proper content.
#5. I don't think you can do this with the built in menu. What I sometimes do is create my own menu on a slide and then Lightbox it from the Player. Your menu slide can also be set to read the language variable so it displays the desired language. In this case you'd need to add a new item to the Player set up that says something like CONTENTS | 내용 and have it Lightbox your menu slide.
