Here are a few ideas:
- Don't use 16 T/F variables to track the chosen location. Instead, use a text variable.
- When the user chooses their location, have a trigger set the variable to that location, or to an appropriate abbreviation. For example, if one location is Green Bay, set the variable to "GB.
- This means you don't need triggers to reset T/F variables if someone accidentally selects the wrong location (changing that variable to T), and then selects the correct one.
- Keep the T/F variables to track whether a required section is completed.
- To me, it'd be a hassle to add layers on top of the English slides (though that really depends on how complicated the slides are). Another option would be to have Spanish states for all of the text in the English slides. But keeping the versions in separate scenes has benefits, too. It really depends on the complexity of the programming, as well as personal preferences.

I appreciate your detailed explanation. This morning I watched this recorded webinar: 12-02 | Using Text Variables in Storyline 360 - Articulate 360 Training. David covers using text variables for avatars and translated languages. I realize now that I only need one Language text variable. Thanks again!
