Translation

Wow - that's too easy! Thanks, I'd missed that feature.

Storyline really is excellent!

Thanks Matthew.

Glad that Matthew was able to assist you here Adam :)

Adam,  here are a few important notes about the translation process.

• Use the "shrink to fit" setting for text. Then, if the translated text is longer (e.g., German tends to be much longer than English), it'll still fit within the designated area.
• In the exported Word file, each piece of text appears in a separate row. That means all the different text elements that make up one slide or multi-slide interaction may not appear in sequence in the Word file. Thus, it'll help your translators if they can access a published version of the course to see the content in context.
• Be sure everyone who will be touching the files has the auto-correct function turned OFF!  Some foreign words are the same as some common English typos. That means auto-correct can introduce errors to properly translated text. For example, "dont" in French will be changed to "don't."  (Alas, I learned this the hard way.)

Great tips Judy! Thank you :)

That's great advice - I suspect you have just saved many hours of mucking around. In fact this thread has saved me a whole bunch of it! 

Many thanks!

Just paying it forward for all the help I've gotten on this site.  :-)

BTW, I thought of one more tip: Keep track of any changes you make to the player's Text Labels (e.g., if you change "Next" to "Keep Going"). Those items are NOT exported for translation, so you'll have to do that work manually.
