Storyline: language selector - 11 languages
Oct 04, 2013
Hi,
I am about to begin a project in Storyline where the customer wants a language selector as front page (choose between 11 languages), course content (9500 words/35 slides/2 x 1 minute video) per language.
Question: How do I best handle/structure a Storyline production containing a language selector and 11 languages in one project?
The master language (UK) will contain about 9500 words on approx. 35 slides. A few videos as well. No speak, no animation.
My normal procedure (in web/flash based projects) would be to make one file (the language launcher), which then will launch the project in the selected language (which is contained in a couple of course files each). Wrap all together in a SCORM 1.2 package and upload to LMS.
But I do not think this is possible i Storyline?
Or is it?
The full course should of course be delivered to an LMS (SuccessFactor LMS).
Any help/advise will be appreciated.
Best
Niels

I would explore these two options:
1. Have ONE file with the language selector page and one scene with 35 slides per language. Having a Storyline project with approx. 400 slides seems 'bulky', but I have worked with larger files and a lot more videos.
2. Have the launcher page and each language version in separate files and combine them with an SCO packager like RELOAD into one SCORM package.
Super.
I think I'll go for option 2, but i'll look into it tomorrow/Monday.
Thanks for the tip.
I've done Michael's option #1 with far more than 400 slides and it's worked well.
Do you neeed to have it treated like a single course? If so, I did a screenr about this a while ago.

Nice screenr Owen, thanks for sharing!
Hi Owen,
First of all: Thank you for sharing both your screenr and the thread.
Both are very interesting when you are about to plan a new project.
Hi Niels! Looks like you've got lots of help and a couple of options here.
Thanks guys!
