Articulate Rise Translation Services

August 14, 2018

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.

We’re available for any questions concerning translation of Articulate Rise course materials and can be reached by telephone at (800) 570-4424 or by email at info@affinitytranslation.com.

Translation Services Technical Documents

August 5, 2018

Technical documents are one of the most frequently requested types of documents for professional translation.

There are so many categories of documents (and other bodies of text) that involve technology. No one technology category dominates, but among the most popular for technical translation include:

Construction
Transportation
Energy/Power
Communication
Manufacturing
Bio-Related

A new client interested in translation of technical materials will sometimes ask if we have translators that have an engineering degree in the related technical area. Since not all engineers are linguists, a better question for a translation company is perhaps “do you have expert linguists with in-depth familiarity in the subject matter domain.”

The latter gives more weight (rightly in our experience) on language rather than technology. Expert linguists with subject matter familiarity can do research over the course of a translation project to fill in technology knowledge gaps where needed. Command of source and target languages is generally the more important requirement.
