When importing a translated XLIFF file, an error happens and only one scene gets translated
Hello Nicki,
These types of issues can be really tricky to solve as it's usually a malformed XLF file that causes the issue you're seeing in Storyline.
Somewhere after the first scene is likely where the problem is and that's where it gets to be challenging.
A few things you can do:
- Go back to the translator and ask them to check the slides after Scene 1. You might want to supply them some of the text on the first slide in the second scene so they can find the error faster.
- Wait for the Storyline forum moderators to respond. I've seen them request XLF files to see if they can figure out where the problem is.
- You can try troubleshooting the problem yourself. If you take the XLF file and change the extension to XML you can then drag and drop it into your browser. This will make the file much easier to read than trying to do it in a text editor such as Notepad. You'll want to check the tags to see if they match in presentation for Source and Target. You'll find the error(s) in the Target tags which is where your translation is located.
It's a needle in a haystack - the error(s) are usually very subtle. I hope one of these ideas will get you closer to solving your problem!

I tried putting everything in one scene and taking some text out of slide master and putting it on my slide, since it appeared that this was the last thing Storyline did was translate some text on slide master. I still a only getting the first three slides.
I cannot figure out what went wrong in the XML file I created.
How quickly can I get the Storyline forum moderators to respond? I am on a tight schedule and I don't want to have to do this all manually (copy over the translated text on my own).
