Remove Localization feature

Localization sounded pretty cool, however it wouldn't work for my projects due to voice overs I use. Here's an example: https://360.articulate.com/review/content/84cd46f9-c457-4227-b76d-ec797204c0d2/review

I tried it out on another project, couldn't use it and forgot about it. Since then I ran into a bug that required me to revert back to storyline version 3.100. Now I can't open the project I experimented with Localization unless I switch back to 3.103. 

Is there anyway to remove Localization from this project?

    Hi GeorgeMoureau​!

    Sorry to hear that you've run into this setback!

    Storyline 360 does allow authors to remove target languages from a course that has been localized.

    1. Open a localized course and go to File > Localization
    2. Hover over the language you want to remove, and choose Delete from Project.
    3. If you delete all target languages, your .story file reverts to a standard, single language course.

     

    However, even when this process is followed, the course cannot be opened in versions of Storyline that support Articulate Localization. Once you've applied the Localization tool for a translation, the instance of localization remains and is recognized by Storyline.

    Instead of removing the target languages, I suggest saving the source language as a separate file.

    This will remove all instances of localization, and allow you to open the newly saved file in older versions of Storyline.

    Please let me know if you need anything else!
