Translations import

Hi Nancy and welcome to E-Learning Heroes!

When you export text from your Storyline content to a Microsoft Word document (*.doc) for translation purposes, be sure the column header text does not get changed. Otherwise, the import process (with the translated text) will fail. Translating Storyline Content

Hi Leslie,

The column header remained the same. Nothing was changed except the translation column.

Hi Nancy and welcome to Heroes!

Entire slides aren't translated or a portion of a slide? First, I'd want to confirm that you're following along with these general guidelines:

• Work on your local drive (your C: drive).Working on a network drive or a USB drive can cause erratic behavior, includingfile corruption, loss of audio, and other unexpected behavior.
• You should also make sure the directory pathto your project files and your published output is less than 260 characters(for example C:\Articulate).
• Avoid using special characters, accents orsymbols in your file names.
• What update of Storyline are you using? We're currently on update 6.

You'll also want to ensure you didn't change any of the column headers, or else the translation import may not work as expected.

If you're still having difficulty, could you share a copy of your .story file and translation document with us? You may want to strip it down to just a few of the troublesome slides for us to take a look at.

I've had this issue in the past and one thing that seems to work is to turn off the spell check in Word. Not sure why this helps, but whenever I forget to turn off the spell check, after about 15 slides, none of the imported text will show up. All I would get are blank slides.

Thanks for popping in to share your solution Victor.
