Updates to existing course in many languages, translations via Word import
Hi all, do you have any suggestions for the best approach in this situation? We have an existing course with several languages within the course, and people choose their language via branching withi...
Hi there, Saw your note, and I've been up working on my portfolio all night, so I thought I'd see if could help. I think I understand why you're using word track changes to document the workflow process, however, wouldn't it be more efficient to just share a "Review" file with the translators, so they could post their translations directly to each scene in the course, since you're not utilizing a translation software? The translations are still tracked, however all of the hardcopy and change tracking is eliminated which might streamline the process for both.
Thank you for your input, Loreal. I will have to look into this "review" option, as I'm quite new to Articulate 360. Do I understand correctly using this review file, updates can be made to the course and uploaded in the software? Our reviewers don't have a license and are not used to work with Articulate, they just volunteer to support us with reviewing these translations... If it would work like that, this might be a great solution, I will investigate this further, thanks a lot for sharing your thoughts.
Hi there, It's my pleasure! I've been working in Articulate 360 since 2014, with experience at a high level now. Articulate 360 comes with a "Preview" option, so that once an ID has completed design and development, he/she is able to click "Preview" and share the .story file with a design team (Articulate users and NO Articulate license required) so that each SME aka reviewer can post comments, suggestions for updates and edits (or in your case, translations) to each scene in the file, so the ID can copy and paste the text directly into the original story file, and each reviewer can watch this happen in real time. When an ID updates each scene, they are also provided with an option to post "resolved" to each scene to indicate they have completed the update. I'll take a few pics and upload to this scene. I'm also happy to provide pro bono consulting if need be. Give me two mins, and I'll update a few pics that can provide you with a little insight into this work flow. : ) Feel free to contact me anytime, at loreal@ccd.global or via LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/lorealbattistelli/
My pleasure. Take a look at the resources I posted as the software has recently been updated, and they'll be the most informative. If you need additional help, feel free to continue to reach out for support, as this site has invaluable experts more experienced than me, regardless of my time on task. : ) Someone can always provide greater insight, so don't hesitate.
