Building Multiple Language Versions in One Course?
I built a demo at a conference once where I created a default shape that had states for each language. I added triggers to the shape to change state based on the language variable.
Then whenever I wanted to add something to the slide, I duplicated the shape. This copied the triggers. Then I added my content.
I could export the word doc and then add my localized content where needed. And everything was a lot easier. I didn't have to build a bunch of versions. I just had to add my translation to the pre-established states.
This takes some forethought, but once you have it built, it works well. I'll do a quick tutorial to show how it works.
Hi Tom, I am trying to find your demo on this. I need to build one storyline file with multiple languages and am not quite sure if this is the right thing to do or to build multiple storyline files. I know how to create the trigger and then branch, but then you have the assessment issue as well. Can you please send me a link where I can figure out the best way to do this is please....

Here is a video that shows the basic idea. I doesn't work for all possible use cases, but is viable with some forethought.
