Closed Caption Translations (1 training in multiple Languages)
Hello Articulate Storyline Experts!
I work for a global company where we have people that speak a variety of languages (English, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese & Korean).
For these we typically have a training in English, and then subtitles in each of the variety of languages.
Is there a trick to creating 1 training with options to choose which language the Closed Captions should be? (Right now I'm creating each training first in English, then Copying the training & adding a different Language in the CC. Making 6 different files).
Or a trick to Exporting the Closed Captions typed in to be translated?
Any input is appreciated.

I have the same need
from a global company with different locations over the world will be a fantastic updateI would really LOVE to see this implemented. We've used Rise when we can, but it's not always the best solution, especially when we need to have separate quizzes for each language all built into the same SCORM package so we don't have to have multiple reports to track completion on our LMS. The majority of our courses require at least 3 translations in addition to English. Some as many as 14 or 18. Managing them manually is a painful exercise.
Still no sign on the Feature Roadmap :(
Here, here! Let's keep the momentum for this request going. We just spent all summer re-creating a course in Spanish. This could have been accomplished with multi-lingual closed captions. Come on, Articulate!!!
Can we get an update on this?
We are spending thousands of employee-hours every year doing simple tasks, such as creating and managing different storyline files, because there can't be localized versions in the same file.
Can we hear the Storyline teams thoughts on what they are working on?
It seems like they must be preparing a huge update to adress this, but meanwhile can we at least just get multiple subtitle support?
Just adding my name to this seemingly unattended list. Multilingual support is fairly pitiful across the Articulate catalog. Storyline, of all tools, should be the lowest hanging fruit. Instead we are forced to hack through it by making DIY solutions - multiple rules, variables, state changes, etc...
Rise has the ability to extract text for translation and import it into a new course, but no way to allow learners to switch between languages as they go through a course. We already create the content in multiple languages due to our global footprint, but find it frustrating that we have to deliver separate courses for each language. We don't like to lock our learners down to a single language, especially for those that may want to take a course in a language they are learning, but also want the security of falling back to their preferred language.
Reach 360 has zero multilingual support at all. I had to create an information document to accompany a welcome email to walk learners through the onboarding process because there was no way to even change the email text.@John Holland, well said! Thank you! This request has been going on for a while (April 2023), and there are two pages of requests. Nothing has moved forward on this request, and I like you have a large global footprint and have to deliver separate courses for the different languages that allow our international staff to efficient eLearning in their own language. We, as IDs, are to cater to all diversities and accessibilities, and we have to spend days and weeks of our time re-creating the same course!
Hi,
please add my voice to this feature request.
Thanks
Hi, please add me too. Thanks.
Haven't loaded multiple caption languages in a while and found this article first before finding my bookmark to this great method. By far the best and easiest solution I've found to solve this issue. multiple-closed-captions-and-languages-using-simple-javascript
Please add my request for this feature to the list. It seems to be a significant omission from an Accessibility standpoint.
