Hi, I'm working on a project that I thought would be fairly straightforward, but currently it isn't.
The client has the same presentation in 6 different languages and wants to have buttons on the opening slide where they pick their language - simple - I can manage that.
Where is gets hard is that they would ideally like the Previous and Next buttons to either be icons (so they are not language specific) or a player can be applied to a certain scene and we can change the default language for these buttons in that. Are either of those possible in Storyline 2?
The slides are all over the place and don't really have the space to add icons (I know that sounds ridiculous). Does anyone know where the Next and Prev image files are located once a project is published so I can replace them post-publish??
We run into this all the time. You can edit the text labels in the Player. If all you want to do is change Prev/Next you can just find them in the list and change them to < and > so there is no language just the symbols.
It gets trickier if you want to edit all of the other elements such as warnings, etc. No smooth way to do that if you have more than 2 languages. (We often do French and English and have created a custom set where we've added French translation to follow the standard English ones separated with a slash, e.g., "Yes / Oui". It's kind of clumsy but works in a pinch.)
I agree being able to set text labels on a scene by scene level would be very useful.
I also have run into this issue, and would love to be able to access text labels on a scene by scene basis. As it stands, I have to make separate courses as I also don't have space on each slide to add Next/Prev buttons.
Dealing with the same issue after translating courses from German to English. In Player Properties, click "Text Labels" and you can select language from the drop-down. No more Zuruck/Weiter.
Now, does anyone know what "Speicherkapazitat" means...
Is there anyway we can change the next button symbol (>) to something bigger button as my client is asking the buttons are really small and not that convenient for end user also customized button is not an option as the slides are full with content.
There isn't a way to modify the player next, previous buttons from the symbols < >.

Andy,
quick and dirty solution:
Disenable prev and next buttons in story view
Add to slides as Icons.
Regards,
John
Thanks John,

You could change the text label under player to a space, this would remove the text
I suspect they will be in the .swf file mate and not accessible.
That works Phil, not ideal but certainly better. Thanks to you both (John & Phil) for your help.

Hi Steve,
The Collins Dictionary translates it as 'Storage Capacity"!
Do I win a prize?
From the advice above I got around it by changing the text labels to '<' and '>' on my project.
It's in the mail, Andy.

Hi Achyut,
