Translation feature in Rise 360
Hello,
We are based in Canada and I work with Rise 360. I tested exporting a course via XLIFF file, saving it with Notepad (.xlf format) and sending it to my translator so she can try running it through her translation system.
It worked partially. The file is configured with the source language en-US.
Since we are in Canada, the translator's system is based on source language en-CA, so it doesn’t show most of the translation (see attached). Is there a was for my Articulate account to configure with a source language en-CA? Any recomendations... Thanks
Taking a look at your images, it looks like your translator is using Trados to do the translation. She will want to do some searching in the Trados forums to see if there is any advice on how to work with Rise 360 files.
Regarding the source language, you or your translator can hand-edit the file to reflect en-CA before importing into Trados but this is likely not the problem. Rise 360 does not follow the XLIFF conventions 100% as it's doing double duty to handle both translation and correct formatting of your course.
I created another solution that might be helpful that will take the Rise 360 XLIFF file and then make it editable in Excel. If you're interested to find out more, please either send a private message to me here or send me a message via LinkedIn.
Hi Anne-Gaelle!
I see case 03521335 with your query. Carlo, one of our technical support engineers has already replied to you via email.
Hi there,
I'm wondering this there has been any resolution to this case? I am in the exact same boat as the original author. Do I need to submit a case? Or is there a solution available?
Thanks in advance! :)
Hello,
We too would like to know if there is a way to change the source language in the Rise module itself. Our source language is French most of the time, and sometimes Dutch. Our translation team uses SDL Studio and has to manipulate the XLIFF before importing it into Studio (and maybe also before returning us the translated file, I'm not sure). It would smooth things out if that manipulation could be avoided.Thank you!
Hello,
We haven't added the option to set the source language for translation purposes to our Rise 360 roadmap yet, but we'll be sure to leave a message here if we have any new updates to share!
