New Storyline Localization feature missing
Hello, I have verified that I'm updated to the most recent version of Storyline, and I opened an existing Story file to play with the localization tool. However, I don't see that option in the menu as shown in the most recent update video.
I don't understand why the feature is not there, when there are no updates showing as available in my Articulate 360 app. Please advise. Thank you!

Yup, there were some silly people who created content with the trial version for clients to have something new to sell them, and now it is gone.....Never use trial or beta versions for production work.
I wasn't planning to use the trial for production work. I do, however, need the opportunity to have native speaking sensory scientists review the localized versions to be sure the translations are up to par. I've seen the way AI text-to-speech works, or doesn't work some of the time, and I can't trust an AI-powered translation to be accurate, especially in a very specialized scientific field. So I need to get localized versions of our existing training content and present them to native speakers of each language who are familiar enough with the subject matter to tell me how much post-production work would be required, or if the localization would be close enough to convey the meaning. The subscription add-on for localization is pretty pricey, and unless we could sell a lot of the localized versions of the courses, it would probably not be worth it to us. Especially if we had to then pay native speakers to correct the localized versions.
JuliaAllen-1574 this feature was available as a trial for 14 days. A subscription is required for the Localisation service. You will need to contact Articulate for a quote as they do not publish the price. Localization is available to purchase in batches of 25 credits. 1 credit = 1 translation in 1 module.
Does that mean I missed the trial? Or is it something I can still sign up for in the future?
Hi JuliaAllen-1574!
