I am not able to export to XLIFF for translation. I have tried to export a file with 2 slide and then I tried to export a file with 50 slides. Same result...
Here is a snippet from the error message I receive when attempting to export to XLIFF:
<Message>No application is associated with the specified file for this operation</Message>
The link above refers to importing a Word document for translation. I am attempting to export an XLIFF file. Here is a video clip that shows how the error occurs.
Step 1: Export the Original Text First, export a copy of the text from your Storyline project. Go to the File tab on the Storyline ribbon, scroll to Translation, and select one of these export options:
Export to XLIFF
XLIFF is a file format commonly used for translation services and computer programs.
Give your file a name and click the ellipsis to select the location where you want to save it.
Choose the Source Language that you used to create the course.
Choose the XLIFF Version required for your translation service or program, either 1.2 or 2.0.
Thank you for sharing your course with us for testing.
Here is a short recording of what I'm seeing happen when exporting to XLIFF and Word using Storyline 360 (3.37.21614.0). Both exports were successful — I've included both files for you below just in case!
A few next questions to help us get to the bottom of this:
I am working with files on my local computer (Desktop).

To jump on J H's bandwagon yes I am working locally and I have the same version of SL 360. Seeing this error when trying to Export to XLIFF (word export works fine)
I appreciate you both taking the time to share these extra clues. We'd love to keep digging to find the culprit(s), especially since you're both doing all the right things!
I'm going to connect each of you with your Engineers and link the corresponding details, so we give the best guidance. Look out for an email from support@articulate.com soon, and I'll follow along!
By the way, J H: It looks like you may have replied by email where your contact information came through to the public discussion. Feel free to edit it out right here!
Looking at this thread it may be as simple as associating an .XLF file to open in a program such as Notepad. Storyline wants to 'show you the file' when it's finished by opening the file upon completion.
To associate a file in Windows 10, double-click the .xlf file, choose More, and then select Notepad or the application of your choice that can read a text file.
FYI - Others have reported a similar problem in this thread and hopefully this will help!

I forgot to add that I am using Storyline 360.
Hi J H!
This discussion explains two workarounds for this exact error! Take a look and let me know if you have any questions.
Hi Lauren,
The link above refers to importing a Word document for translation. I am attempting to export an XLIFF file. Here is a video clip that shows how the error occurs.
Here are the instructions listed on your website:
Step 1: Export the Original Text
First, export a copy of the text from your Storyline project. Go to the File tab on the Storyline ribbon, scroll to Translation, and select one of these export options:
Export to XLIFF
XLIFF is a file format commonly used for translation services and computer programs.
Give your file a name and click the ellipsis to select the location where you want to save it.
Choose the Source Language that you used to create the course.
Choose the XLIFF Version required for your translation service or program, either 1.2 or 2.0.
Click OK to complete the export process.
So sorry you're hitting that crash error, J H. I'd love to help investigate!
Does this happen with any file you try to export for translation? If so, could I have you go through these repair steps?
If it's a certain one, are you comfortable with sharing the troublesome .story file with me? I'll try to export it and let you know what happens!
Were you able to resolve J H's issue? I am experiencing the exact same problem she showed in the video.
I am attached the SL 360 file I have been using to do my translations
Happy Friday, Peter!

Yes. I have un-installed and re-installed SL360.
