Closed Caption Translations SL3
I'm trying to use the closed captioning feature in Storyline 3. Is there a way to export the course along with the captions for translation? From what I can tell, it looks like I'll have to export the captions as a separate file than the rest of the course. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

I agree with everyone and Justin says it perfectly: It really makes CC useless to all but the end user if we can't publish them in word. It makes such a huge difference for translating, for a 508 audit and so much more. The fact that you have to export the CC 1 by 1 makes the product feel outdated. I think this should be a priority fix.

Hi, assuming this feature has not been added as yet, right? I need to submit a proposal and need to let the client know what all would be coming their way for translations. So currently :
1) the exported captions file in text format
2) another file for the remainder of the course,
..Both need to be translated separately. Could you verify that my understanding is correct?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Hello Deepa!
Yes, that is the current setup—one file for closed captions and another file for the rest of the course.

Hi, I've been waiting for more than 4 years now for this feature, and not only me, as you can see here ;-) We are producing at least one course a month with about 50 sound files and closed captions. It is such an annoying work to export and import the vtt files one by one for translation (it is the same problem with the sound files, by the way).
Since this request is already 4 years old and many users are asking for improving this workflow, I would like to know if you are working on it and when the feature will be available. Thanks!!
