XLF Version 2.1.

I have subscribed to the Advance version of DeepL as a translating tool. DeepL requires an XLF 2.1. version for translation but Rise 360 only export in version 1.2.

Has anyone been able to solve the problem when exporting for translation?

Can Articulate update Rise export XLF files for translation to a 2.1. version?

Thanks

  • How to change your versioning to translate your XLIFF doc for Rise. This is the process I use and it work.

    1. Log in to your Rise account using your credentials.
    2. Search the Rise module that needs to be translated.
    3. Click on the tree dot in the top right corner of the module.
    4. Select “Duplicate” and create a copy of the module.
    5. Access the copied module by clicking on it.
    6. Click on setting on the top bar
    7. On the Translation tab, click on “Export XLIFF File” button
    8. An XLIFF life has been downloaded in “Your Download”
      1. Open your XLIFF using Notepad++ (Right click on it and choose “Open with”)
      2. Click on the text on the top of the screen. The firs section will turn yellow, and, in that section, you will need to replace the versioning 1.2 by 2.1 (3 different place as shown in the picture bellow)
      3. Click on save (third image .. hard drive) You now have an XLIFF version 2.1
    9. Access your translation engine (DeepL, etc) and download the XLIFF doc for translation
    10. Once the document is translated, download it back into “Your download”
    11. The translated document will end with “fr-ca.xlf”
      1. You need to repeat the same process as #8 and change it back from 2.1 version to 1.2 at the same tree places using Notepad++.
      2. Click on save (third image .. hard drive) You now have an XLIFF version 1.2
    12. Access back your copy of the Rise module that you have exported the XLIFF doc and click on “Import Translated text” and select your document that finishes with “fr-ca.xlf”.
    13. Update the label to “French”
    14. Close this window by clicking on the “Close” button on the top right corner.
    15. The module is translated and ready for French QA
  • Wanted to pitch in. We really need Articulate to support 2.1 XLIFF. This is the feature that we need the most right now

  • Same here. Support for XLIFF 2.1 would make working with Articualte so much more efficient for us. We often translate into 12 languages.

  • While we wait to hear back from Articulate, I have a solution available now that uses DeepL to translate Rise 360 XLIFF 1.2 files.  Not much will change what you do now (ok, maybe saving those extra work/hours!) - export the XLIFF from Rise 360, use the solution to make the translation, and then import back into Rise 360.  The solution also supports Storyline courses, too.

    If you would like more information, please let me know by either a private message or reach out to me on LinkedIn (usually the best as sometimes I don't get private messages from the forums).

  • Hi Everyone :)

    Following this thread because this issue causes an incredible amount of extra work/hours. I'd be so grateful if this could be solved so we can use Rise and DeepL.

    Fingers crossed for your engineering team's efforts!

  • Hi Stephane,

    Support for XLIFF 2 has been logged as a feature request with our engineering team.  We'll update this thread as soon as we hear more from our team about this feature.

    In the meantime, check out this workaround that David Arndt shared in another post.

      Am I correct that per David's post, there is no functioning workaround? We are also using DeepL. 

      Sorry for the confusion. Apparently the offered workaround does not work with Rise XLIFFs since the structure is simply not like normal XLIFF files.

      My fault, I hadn't tested properly.
