Help Needed: Landing page linking to multiple storyline files

I am working to create a landing page that is its own storyline file where it will link to other storyline files that are in our different language options. I am unsure how to do this. Does anyone have any guidance?

    The solution might not need JavaScript, but it would, at least, need coding expertise. 

    For one of my clients, I used to provide separate SCORM packages for each language. They had someone bundle those into a single SCORM package that launched with a language-selection page, and then redirected to the SCORM with the appropriate language. 

    Sorry, but I don't know who they used to do that, and I can't offer any recommendations about where to get that programming done. Just know that it is possible.

    So from our other courses that were designed by an external vendor, they just gave us a single SCORM where it was able to do this. Is there another way without them being hosted somewhere? I see for example on one of the menus they built that it says Execute Java Script- "location.replace("arabic/index_lms.html")" but I don't know what that means

      Hi TaylorVonAllmen!

      Happy to jump in here!

      The suggestion Joe offered is the best approach for this type of multi-language design, when using Storyline 360. JavaScript is a programming language some of our users implement when more advanced, or custom functionality is required. Although we can't provide support on JavaScript coding, we do have a lot of JavaScript experts here in the E-Learning Heroes community.

      I'll open the floor to them, to offer additional insight and suggestions!

    Hi TaylorVonAllmen,

    Thanks for reaching out!

    I think this setup is pretty straightforward. You'll need to publish multiple versions of your course in different languages, and you'll also need a place to host these courses. You can use a web server or an LMS for this. Once everything is hosted, you can add hyperlinks to your landing page that directs users to whichever version of your course they select. 

    You can check out Amazon S3 if you need quick access to a web server environment. Hope this points you in the right direction!
