localization strategy and variables

I would greatly appreciate you elaborating; I have no idea what you are getting at. I need multiple languages in one .story file so the LMS can track completion of the course regardless of language viewed in. I have no idea what you are talking about... When you say "publish each story individually" that seems incompatible for my need to have all languages in one .story file... Please elaborate or point me to articles with related information. Please!

I also don't understand what you mean by "slides actually load even if they aren't accessed" given this article: http://www.articulate.com/support/storyline/how-content-is-preloaded-in-storyline so I'd love to hear more on how I'm misinterpreting that. If I have 10 scenes--one for each language--preceded by a single scene with a single language-selection slide, what is going to download? The first 3 slides in each of the 10 scenes? Ok, that would be worst case it seems but it then seems that once I select a language and go into a scene I assume Storyline won't download slides from other scenes because they aren't "next slides." I'd greatly appreciate more insight on this as well.

Thanks
