Help for create a multilingual courses with Storyline

Hello Articulate Storyline Experts!

My client asks me for a Storyline chapter with quiz (and a score result) that manages 2 languages: French and English

My problem: I created 2 scenes: French version and English version. And depending on the learner's choice, I play the corresponding scene. However, the player only has one language! So when I'm in the English version, the automatic feedback (for example: you must answer the question) is in French! Additionally, the results slides only support one language...

Solution: I was thinking of making 2 Storyline files: 1 French and 1 English

>> But how do I have to have a language selection screen which, depending on the learner's choice, launches the associated scorm?

 

Thanks a lot,

Best regards

Sandra

    Here's a good solution I've seen for translated courses:
    • Create a separate source (.story file or Rise project) for each language.
    • Publish each as a SCORM package.
    • Have someone with the proper coding skills wrap those packages into one big SCORM package, with a starting page that allows the user to select a language.
     
    Unfortunately, I don't have any recommendations about who does that sort of programming. Perhaps someone else will chime in with suggestions. Or search the community, because this question is asked a lot.
     
    Another option I've seen also involves publishing a separate SCORM package for each language. Those are then bundled into a curriculum within the LMS, with the settings adjusted so that the user only has to complete one of the courses to finish the curriculum. Of course, being able to do this depends on the LMS. 
     
    The most recent option is to use the Articulate Localization function. That is licensed separately from Articulate 360.

      Dear JudyNollet and Storyline community

       

      Thanks a lot for your answer.

      I will try the solution

      • Create a separate source (.story file or Rise project) for each language.
      • Publish each as a SCORM package.
      • Have someone with the proper coding skills wrap those packages into one big SCORM package, with a starting page that allows the user to select a language.

       

      Does anyone have a coding example (or tutorial) for integrating the packages into one big SCORM package, with a starting page that allows the user to select a language ?

      Thanks a lot

      Best regards
