Closed Caption Translations SL3

Dec 18, 2017

I'm trying to use the closed captioning feature in Storyline 3. Is there a way to export the course along with the captions for translation? From what I can tell, it looks like I'll have to export the captions as a separate file than the rest of the course. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Erin,

Ah, great question! Closed captions are not included when you export text strings from your course for translation, in which you'll indeed need to export them both separately. Here are some handy tutorials on translating your Storyline 3 courses as well as importing closed captions for narration and videos.

In the meantime, I'm going to submit a feature request for this option on your behalf to our product team! Please feel free to reach back out here or via our feature request form if there's anything else you'd like to see in Storyline or any of our other products! We love new ideas :-)

Hi, Jan. Thanks for checking in!

I don't have anything new to share yet, but you're in the right place to stay up-to-date on any further information. If this feature gets added to a future update of Storyline, we'll let you know!

 If there's anything else I can help with in the meantime, I'll be here!

+12 for the feature request for closed captions to be included in the export.  It really makes CC useless to all but the end user if we can't publish them in word.  It makes such a huge difference for translating, for a 508 audit and so much more.  The fact that you have to export the CC 1 by 1 makes the product feel outdated.  I think this should be a priority fix.

I agree with everyone and Justin says it perfectly: It really makes CC useless to all but the end user if we can't publish them in word.
