[Issue] AI Localization: Text-to-Speech audio does not auto-regenerate after translation?
Hi everyone,
I am currently testing the new AI Localization feature (English to Italian) and ran into a workflow issue regarding Text-to-Speech (TTS) audio generation.
The Setup:
- Source: English Storyline file using native Text-to-Speech audio.
- Action: Used File > Localization > Translate Course to convert to Italian.
- Settings: Formality set to "Formal".
The Issue:
The AI successfully translated the text inside the Text-to-Speech script editor into Italian. However, the actual audio file on the timeline did not update automatically.
When I previewed the slides:
- The text on screen was Italian.
- The script in the TTS window was Italian.
- The Audio being played was still the original English voice.
The Workaround:
I had to manually open the Text-to-Speech editor for every single audio clip and click the blue "Update" button. Only after doing this manual step did the audio regenerate into the Italian voice.
My Question:
I noticed the disclaimer that "Text-to-speech translation is currently in beta."
Is this manual update process expected behavior for the Beta version? Or should the AI be auto-regenerating the audio files during the initial translation process?
Checking if anyone else has experienced this or if there is a setting I missed to force auto-generation.
Thanks!
