Articulate Rise Translation Services
Affinity Translation provides translation and localization services for eLearning courses created in Articulate Rise. The eLearning tool maker Articulate recently announced its new text export feature to support translation/localization for courses created in Rise. According to the company:
If you need to create courses in multiple languages, you’re going to love this new Rise feature. It allows you to export your course text to an XLIFF file and then reimport it once it’s been translated. Like magic: all your text is replaced by the translated text. It’s that easy!
Translation of XLIFF files is standard practice for professional translators. Once the text is translated it can then be imported back into a duplicate copy of the course in whatever target language is needed. More about the Rise export feature is available from the company’s website at: https://community.articulate.com/discussions/rise/new-in-rise-export-for-translation.
The Rise translation process is described by the following steps:
Step 1: Duplicate Your Content
The first step is to duplicate the content you want to translate. The duplicate you create will become the translated version.
Step 2: Export the Content as an XLIFF File
Open the duplicate content you created in the previous step. Click Settings in the upper right corner and go to the Translations tab.
If you don’t need to preserve formatting you’ve applied to your text, deselect Include HTML formatting. This exports your content in easy to translate blocks of text. However, it doesn’t contain the coding necessary to maintain any formatting you’ve applied to that content.
Click Export XLIFF File and save the file to your computer.
If Include HTML formatting is selected above, you’ll see additional HTML tags and extra spaces in your XLIFF file. These are there to preserve your formatting when you import your translated file in Step 3. Send your XLIFF file to Affinity Translation, indicate your desired target language, and we’ll provide a quote for services.
Step 3: Import Translated Text
Open your duplicate content again. Click Settings in the upper right corner, go to the Translations tab, and click Import Translated Text. Select your translated XLIFF file and click Open. A message displays when your text is successfully imported.
Step 4: Translate Your Labels
Don’t forget to translate your buttons and other built-in navigational elements. Click Settings in the upper right corner and go to the Labels tab.
