Localization proxy language hack in Storyline 360: what can break?
Hi everyone, I’m using the Articulate Localization Add-on in Storyline 360 and I ran into a limitation: the target language I need (Papiamento) isn’t available in the Localization language list. So I’m considering a “proxy language” workaround and I’d love to sanity-check it with the community. What I’m trying to do In Localization, I add a supported language as a placeholder/proxy (e.g., English or Dutch — same script, LTR). I don’t rely on AI translations. Instead, I replace all translated strings manually with my own Papiamento translations (copy/paste). The goal is that the multilingual interface (language selector + localized content) shows Papiamento content everywhere, even if the internal language entry is technically a proxy. In other words: the course would display Papiamento text everywhere (content + questions/answers + feedback), but the language slot is a listed language. Main question Is there anything that could go wrong with this approach? I’m trying to identify pitfalls beyond “it’s not officially supported”. Questions / possible pitfalls (please confirm/deny) Metadata / language tagging: does the published output get tagged as the proxy language (e.g., HTML lang attributes, player language settings, LMS reporting)? Player UI strings / system messages: are those fully editable via Localization, or could some UI strings remain tied to the proxy language? Layout / text expansion: do you see UI/layout regressions when the real strings differ in length from the expected proxy language patterns? Accessibility: could screen readers behave incorrectly if lang metadata remains the proxy language? Maintenance: any gotchas when updating the source course later (re-sync overwriting manual edits, harder diffs, etc.)? What I’m looking for If anyone has tried something similar (using a listed language as a container for a non-listed language), I’d appreciate: What actually breaks (if anything) Best practices to minimize risk Whether you’d recommend a different workflow Context: I’ll publish to [SCORM 1.2 / SCORM 2004 / xAPI / Review / Web]. Thanks in advance!Drag and Drop
Hoping for a little help here please! I've set up some drag and drop activities on Storyline. When testing them individually (one slide at a time) they all work, but when viewing the Scene, one isn't working in the same way. How I've set them is that when the items are dropped in the correct or incorrect place, a new layer is displayed with a post-it sharing some feedback, along with a 'try again' or 'continue button'. I can't fathom why this isn't working when i view the scene or whole project. These are my triggers:Record every answer for every quiz retry
Hi, I would like to record every answer submitted, whether the quiz was passed or failed. My set up is 3 short quizzes with results slides and a final results slide to submit them. They need to get 80% to pass. Since each quiz is short, they basically need a perfect score, or close to it. And that's the result sent to the LMS. Can I record/send the first (or second, third...) failed attempt answers to the LMS, maybe after each short quiz (before final results slide), and also send the info when the quiz is passed? Thanks!Microlearning not marking 'complete' status in the LMS
Hello everyone, I have tested various microlearning modules, but none of them seem to update the completion status in the LMS (Moodle). The status consistently shows as incomplete. I did manage to get a completion status once, but I’m unsure about it. Is anyone else experiencing the same issue? SCORM cloud testing also shows the same. Than you so much, Best,Online Courses for Instructional Design
Hey there! I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for non-Articulate courses on Instructional Design/Development. I've been at this for a while now, so I'm not really looking for a beginner-level course, but something intermediate and above. Thoughts? Thanks!File Gone after Recent Articulate 360 Update
Hi Everyone, I updated to the most recent version of Articulate on 1/12/26. The next day, I opened a project file and was working in it, but when I tried to save it I got a message saying, "The project file is corrupted or invalid." I almost lost my entire project! Luckily our IT team was able to save it. But now I am wondering...did anyone else have this issue or a similar issue with the most recent update? Any feedback, if you had an issue or you didn't, is appreciated. Thank you!Custom Block - Images/Gifs not loading/appearing
Hello! I am creating a custom block where the image/gif is on the left, the title and copy is on the right and below is an audio recording. I am running into issues where the content that I am uploading (images/gifs/videos) aren't loading when I preview or even upload. I have tried using it with other custom blocks and stock images from the Articulate library and the same story. I have cleared history/cache/data, updated my chrome, updated my laptop, made sure all my articulate apps are up to date (even though this is a RISE course) and even spoke to the custom blocks team at DevLearn in Las Vegas last week... wondering if anyone has any advice on how to solve this.
