Yes, it is possible to export a "translation file" from storyline, this generates a word document that you can edit a translation to all texts in the Storyline project. When you later import it again it will change the text to the new language. Every language have a seperate Storyline project-file.
Some edeting might be requiered, some words are longer in diffrent languages so it is important to check the layout.
Also when you have exported a translation, dont edit the storyline project untill you have imported the translation, as this can corrupt the translation when importing. So try to make the course as complete as possible before translating. (it is boring to change the same thing in 20 translated storyline-project :) )
Hi Cecilia! I would like to add that we use that translation feature to edit when just developing in one language. It really saves time, but David is right about making no changes. I learned this the hard way. Also, be aware that whenever you use it, you have to redo bullets (at least I do) so you may want to take off the bullets until the translation is uploaded.

Thank you David, I will try it.
