Urgent translation import problem
Hi all,
Our team has been using Storyline and want to import translated Word documents into Storyline, but we are running into several big problems. When we import the text file, we encounter one...
Hello all,
I had a very similar issue last year when working on a file and had 26 languages to import. What I found was ... and this is going to sound crazy but here goes.
Make sure you have all the language packs installed for Word. What seemed to happen is that Word would run into an error during the import because if the language set in Word was not the one you are importing then it couldn't spell check through to the end and it would time out and stop the language import when the spell-check in Word max'd out.
I know it sounds crazy but after I downloaded all the language packs I was using, set the language in Word to the import language, closed Word and then re-imported into Storyline - no more problems.
The Asian languages never timed out in Word even if the spell check was attempting to spell check in English because the Asian languages re much more abbreviated (in characters) than romance or Germanic languages.
Hope this helps!

p.s. Microsoft doesn't have language packs for every single language so some of them you might have to cross your fingers and get the most and copy and paste in the rest.
