Caption videos into multiple languages

Can Articulate add a feature where we can upload multiple srt caption files for videos, so the learner can pick the language they want to read on screen?

Hi DouglasC,

Thanks for reaching out! I agree—it would be great to be able to upload multiple SRT caption files for videos.

This feature isn't currently supported in Storyline 360, so I've submitted a feature request on your behalf. In the meantime, here's how we manage feature requests that we receive.

Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have additional questions.

      Hi TamaraW​,

      Thanks for reaching out! While I don't have any updates to share at this time, I can definitely see how valuable this would be when creating courses for learners in multiple languages.

      I'd love to learn a little more about your workflow:

      • Can you tell me how you're creating multilingual captions today? 
      • How often do you need to publish videos with captions in multiple languages?
      • If Storyline supported this natively, what difference would it make for you or your team?

       

      Thanks again for taking the time to share your feedback. Your insights help us better understand how this capability could improve real-world workflows.

        Hi Luciana,

        I create my video subtitles automatically in Adobe Premiere and would like to have the option to import the resulting SRT files directly into Articulate Storyline afterward.

        At the moment, I would prefer not to use Articulate Localization for this purpose, as I don't see a clear benefit for my specific workflow. Do you have any alternative recommendations or workarounds that would allow me to use externally generated subtitle files in Storyline?

        Also, is there any information on whether this feature is planned for implementation in the future? It seems that this has been a long-standing request from the community.

        Thank you in advance for your support.

        Best regards,
        Tamara
