Export to XLIFF 2.0 File in Rise
Hi,
Is there a plan to update Rise to export XLIFF 2.0 files? My translation vendor will be requiring this version.
Thank you!

I have just run into this issue also,.
Looking at this thread it is disappointing that this was discussed over a year ago and it is still not on the roadmap.
XLFF 2.1 is a must surly most translation services and software I have come across have this as a standard, articulate you are dragging your heals!
I have to translate into 12 languages and currently you cannot export other than xlf and its an archaic versions so require converting to excel translating and reconverting...
Surly there is a better solution ?
Is there any translation integration planned for rise/storyline?Can you update to 2.1 for XLF?Hi Peter, we purchased and downloaded the HEROTRANSLATE tool via the Microsoft Store about a year ago and have successfully done a lot of translation tasks with it. We still receive regular updates from the developer and our IT department saw no game-stoppers to use it in our business context.
I'd wish Articulate to support international customers better with their needs for translations, but luckily some developers jump in to bridge the gaps here!

Graz, AustriaHello, Everyone. Articulate Rise 360 has some beautiful course templates, which is a plus. The issue with XLIFF seems to be how to translate those files or entire courses. We use REDOKUN, which is a reliable online translation tool. It's a bit pricey, I guess, but it allows us to do the job. A perfect thing about Redokun is that it takes whatever version or file it takes and will translate. Disclaimer: I am not related to that company, and perhaps I am posting here just to helm.
Same to us. We tried some translations to different languages with Deepl, and the XLIFF version was the game stopper in this case.
Still in hope this will be added soon - otherwise any other translation support would be appreciated.I built a tool that translates the courses using Deepl. I‘d be happy to show it to anybody looking for a solution to this problem.
Please feel free to reach out.
Hi, still no development of the XLIFF 2.1? This has been hanging now for years, what is happening on your development? Is everything completely on hold? The standard is well defined, please just add this ASAP as this "function" now is rendered completely useless. You might as well just remove if it does not work at all with online services.
Unfortunately there are the same responses from the staff for years now... this request came up over 5 years (!) ago and they are still not able to provide a reliable solution or at least a workaround...
I use https://www.elearningtranslator.com to work around that gap. Happy to help if anybody has questions.
Any update on this?
Hi, Funny how things are moving. Rise just included, sorry, added as an option an in system translation. I just tried it and it works pretty well and ultra fast. Pricing is not mentionned but it is a huge progress. To be confirmed how much it will cost if not included.
Really? Where is it? I can't find it anywhere. Does it include a translation database to set common, company-specific terms?
in rise360, when you are on your document, click on the gear (settings) and it is called localization or when you are on your all content page, click on the 3 dots of your course and click on translate.

This doesn't work for us, we have expert translators for Medical terminology and consistency throughout our modules. We need the ability of exporting this xlif.
FYI - I saw that in Storyline, when the localization trial period is enabled, that Storyline offers the option to export XLIFF 2.1. I do not know if they're planning on making this available to non-Localization enabled Storyline users or if that option will go away when the trial period ends.
From what I saw in Rise, they're still exporting XLIFF 1.2.
Okay, to summarize, DeepL is the seemingly best AI translation tool. At least, it is favored (by some of us). Rise only exports in an old XLIFF version that will not work with DeepL (which is what many of us use). We do not wish to have to send source files to a paid translation servicer who perhaps has RISE 360. Even they would prefer to have a format that makes translation faster for them rather than having to manually import an unsupported XLIFF file and doing manual edits in Rise 360. We need to be able to use the AI translation ourselves. This saves us both time and money. Currently, I need to copy and paste every text area manually into DeepL and then paste it back in, which is unacceptable overall. Exporting to a newer version of XLIFF does fit into Articulate's vision of using AI and being a cost-effective solution if you support higher versions of XLIFF on export. We waste time and money as corporate or consulting-centric users of Articulate without this feature. I have recently tried a non-Articulate less-featured tool that auto-translates on the fly so Articulate needs this feature for competitive reasons.
Hah good luck waiting for Articulate to provide a solution! Look how long this has been an issue for. Articulate have done nothing other than keep saying the same thing, they will put it forward to their developers. We'll know about aliens before Articulate pull their fingers out. Absolute sham of a company to be dealing with, the moment we can find an alternative authoring tool that supports this requirement, we will be gone!
