Text (XLIFF Files) | Graphics | Video
Articulate Rise 360 translation projects can require attention in multiple categories of services (among those listed below).
Translation of text content from an Articulate Rise 360 course takes place outside the e-Learning application environment. Rise 360 includes a function to export text into XLIFF files. Once translated the text can then be imported back into the application.
Translation and localization services for Articulate Rise 360 courses adhere to our company’s practice of including post-translation proofreading by a second translator. Translators are native speaking in the target language as well. High quality translations are ensured.
Some graphical elements of Articulate Rise 360 courses can contain embedded text. These might include graphics such as line drawings or images with attached captions or labels. When the text is appropriate for translation and part of an image then translation of the image text is handled separately (still following the process described above). After translation of text images/graphics are manually edited to produce a target language version of the files. The newly created target language images/graphics files are then ready for placement into Articulate Rise 360.
The text for audio content (e.g., course narration) can be translated and then recorded by professional native speaking voiceover talents.
Video content is sometimes part of an Articulate Rise 360 course. Translation of video content is usually accomplished through: 1) Dubbing – the process of recording voices over the originals, or 2) Subtitling – text displayed at the bottom of video content that translates or transcribes the dialogue or narrative, or 3) Captioning – adding a text representation of the audio into the video. Captions are often used by viewers who are hearing impaired, and will describe what is being said, emotions, and background sounds. Captions can also be used for indexing and retrieval.
How do I export an XLF file for translation from Articulate Rise 360? After translating the XLF file, how do I import it back into Rise 360?
The software developer’s instructions for the export/import process are currently posted at: https://community.articulate.com/kb/user-guides/rise-360-translate-your-content/1150507
What happens if there are errors during the import process?
Our customers do not report that errors occur in the import process provided that the prescribed process is followed. Course creators are advised to ensure that translated XLF files are imported into the same course the XLF file was originally exported from to the file IDs generated by the application match.
Will Rise 360 preserve formatting, media, and interactions after translation?
The XLF export/translation/import process is intended to preserve most (if not all) formatting of standard text content.
Why is my translated XLF file not being accepted by Rise 360?
On occasions when we hear of this it is typically a case of trying to import a translated XLF file into a course other than the same course file it was generated from. The application generated IDs in the XLF file must match in order for the XLF file to import correctly back into the course after translation.
Are there any best practices for working with XLF files in CAT tools?
The application creator provides guidelines for translating XLF files using CAT (computer aided translation) tools. We are aware of them and follow them.
Can I translate multiple languages at once in Rise 360?
Yes. See point #4 at the instructions linked at: https://community.articulate.com/kb/user-guides/rise-360-translate-your-content/1150507
How do I handle updates in the source course after translation?
There are several ways to reduce costs associated with translating future updates to courses. If this is of interest please inquire for suggestions specific to your project’s unique considerations.
