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.
- Log in to your Rise account using your credentials.
- Search the Rise module that needs to be translated.
- Click on the tree dot in the top right corner of the module.
- Select “Duplicate” and create a copy of the module.
- Access the copied module by clicking on it.
- Click on setting on the top bar
- On the Translation tab, click on “Export XLIFF File” button
- An XLIFF life has been downloaded in “Your Download”
- Open your XLIFF using Notepad++ (Right click on it and choose “Open with”)
- 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)
- Click on save (third image .. hard drive) You now have an XLIFF version 2.1
- Access your translation engine (DeepL, etc) and download the XLIFF doc for translation
- Once the document is translated, download it back into “Your download”
- The translated document will end with “fr-ca.xlf”
- 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++.
- Click on save (third image .. hard drive) You now have an XLIFF version 1.2
- 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”.
- Update the label to “French”
- Close this window by clicking on the “Close” button on the top right corner.
- The module is translated and ready for French QA

+1 (or more) for ASAP support of xliff 2.1
As a multi-language company, for us it is essential to have support of xliff 2.1
For those who look for xliff1.2-compatible CAT tools, there is an other tool, "Phrase" (former Memsource). Professional tool, for professional price range, so I think that worth to buy only for those the translation is the daily BAU. (Dear Articulate, the training content creators are usually not translators, but if there is a tool for competitive price (ie DeepL), we want - have to - use that...)

Is there any update when the export for XLF v2.1 will be available please?
- HansVerdoodtCommunity Member
Hi All,
I've been proposed a solution by Herotranslate that makes the link between Rise360/StoryLine and Deepl. Basically, this little software takes care of the concersion V1.2 - V2.1 in both directions and interfaces with Deepl for the translation. You need the Deepl API to be installed.
The free version of the Deepl API covers 500.000 characters per month and was sufficient for 6 language copies from my e-learning.
Herotranslate can be purchased through the Microsoft store for 20USD.
It works for me, this is a video that explains the process : Thor's HERO Apps - YouTube

For others who are struggling with this, I'll note that I tried the HeroTranslate solution Thor Melicher mentioned upthread and it's been working for translating my Rise courses. (Haven't experimented with Storyline.)
- FelixFrankeCommunity Member
Hi Mary, that is very good to know, my IT dept. have been vetting this for ages now, I hope I can get it soon. It would make translations so much easier...
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.
- JenniferPhil716Community Member
Am I correct that per David's post, there is no functioning workaround? We are also using DeepL.
- David Arndt
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.- RachelGrimard-bCommunity Member
Hi Jennifer. I emailed you from my work account. Please let me know.
- RachelGrimard-bCommunity Member
Does anyone have a tool that translates the Rise courses? I tried SmartCat but cannot figure it out.
- CarlosDecker-a1Community Member
I've used SmartCat with XLIFF files exported from Rise many times and it works well
- CarolineBuote-9Community Member
Hi Carlos,
I am trying SmartCat now. How long does it take to import the translated file back into Rise for you? My exported original Rise file is a .xlf and the SmartCat translated one is .xliff. Importation does not seem to ever end for me.
Thanks for your help!

Any update on these requests for version 2.1?
Has someone found an alternative solution?
Hi Hans!
Thanks for checking in on this!
I don't have any updates to share at this time as our development team has been prioritizing other features. I've included you in the feature report being tracked and will update this discussion as soon as we have news to share. If you'd like to stay up to date, you can bookmark our Feature Roadmap.
In the meantime, for your reference, here's a deeper look at how we manage feature requests.
- WendyRijkhoffCommunity Member
Hi Steven, this is quite a basic feature (Rise / XLIFF version 2.1) and the request has been made years ago. What is the problem in getting this implemented? When will this be done? Or has it been done in the meantime? Thank you!
- JoelHesse-d992bCommunity Member
+1 really needed here, too. Must work with deepl.
- FelixFrankeCommunity Member
Many translating programs do not support xliff 1.2 anymore, Deepl being one of the better known ones.
The Articulate Programs are so phantastic, I don't understand why it is such an issue / takes so long to implement xliff 2.1 throughout (or - even better - Word like you do in Storyline!)
Thanks!

Same here. Please put XLIFF 2.1 Support on the product roadmap.
