[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:

  1. The text on screen was Italian.
  2. The script in the TTS window was Italian.
  3. 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!
