Alt tags - translation
Hi!
We have been having challenges with direct upload of translated XLIF format files in general.
The last step I have to do for development of a new program in English is add ALT tags. Before I start (and decide how detailed I want to be with ALT tags) I am wondering how seamless (or not) translation of embedded ALT tags into another language for Rise will be, as this program will be translated into several other languages.
Anyone suggest I go cautious and mark most images as decorative to be safe, or can I feel secure that the ALT descriptions I include will format properly through XLIF download and translation processes?
Insights appreciated, thanks,
Angela

Hi Angela!
Alt-text is included when you export the XLIFF translation file in Rise. Once you've finished creating your course and adding your alt-text, simply follow the steps described in this article to translate your course. I hope this helps!
is Alt-text is also included when we export the XLIFF translation file in Storyline?
Hello OliverTandayu-a,
Thanks for reaching out!
Yes, Alt-text is included in the exported XLIFF translation file. The tags that contain the Alt-text are in this format in the translation file for your reference:
<trans-unit id="64PM7p9LaG7.AltText" datatype="plaintext"><source>This is a test</source></trans-unit>Let me know if you need anything else!
