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...
Hi Ashley
Further to my post last night, I have now gone through the process I described and am indeed seeing variable results (not intermittent, as this suggests the re-occurence of the same thing).
Please bear in mind, that last night, SL2 was failing to export to Word at all. It failed on both attempts to use the Word formats but successfully exported to .XLIFF - the latter content being viewable in a text editor.
This morning the export was working again (no restart overnight)
I have made another video this morning in which I show the following:
- A working new file - in SL2 release 3
- The export of that content to WORD
- A minor change to that Word doc
- The re-import of the Word doc
- The disappearance of various pieces of text
I then closed the file without saving and did the following:
- Opened the source file (which was not changed from the original)
- Imported the same Word file as had been used in the first test
- Observed the disappearance of DIFFERENT pieces of text and the re-appearance of text that had been previously missing
In the past, we have seen how Microsoft applications can introduce hidden characters which if allowed to pollute XML, can cause whole files to misbehave. Is this a possible source of the problem?
To test the above, I will Export to .xliff - make some minor changes and re-import from .xliff
Meanwhile - here is a link to my latest video
