Several Languages - One Course
I am in the process of building an onboarding program in SL 360 which will be translated into several languages. I undertand how to export/import the translation file; however, is it possible to add...

When you import a translation file, it applies to the entire course.
You could create separate Storyline files for each language, and then import the translated slides into one big file.
- Be aware that Storyline only lets you choose one set of Text Labels. In other words, the system messages (e.g., warnings and prompts to resume) can only be in one language.

IMHO, it's better to keep the translation files separate. Publish each one into its own SCORM package. Here are two typical ways to handle choosing the language:
- If the LMS has the capability, put all versions of the course into one "curriculum" that only requires completion of one of the courses (that is, of one language). Use LMS tools to let the user choose their language.
- "Wrap" the SCORM packages into one bigger SCORM package that starts with a page for choosing the language. A good programmer could do this. (Sorry, but I don't have any recommendations to offer.)
Thank you! This is great information! I will look into each of these suggestions.
Appreciate the help!
