Storyline 360 | Articulate 360 Course Translation

September 10, 2020

Preparing quotes for Storyline translation projects are as a result among the more complex quoting processes we engage.

A main difference between the various Storyline’s subscription based product and the standalone software is whether the various content libraries are included. As a translation company we’re not course creators, rather we’re concerned with translating courses and making sure they function as intended in the new target language. Access to content libraries is not critical to our work. So mainly we work with the standalone software which is a subset of the subscription based collection of things.

When we receive a request to quote translation services for a Storyline 360 course one of the first things we do is export the course text into one of the standard file formats supported by the application. The word count of the course text can then be determined and translation pricing established.

Additionally we find it helpful to go through the actual functioning course in English. Sometimes there are embedded graphics with text that also requires translation. There can be videos inserted into the course and translation for videos can be accomplished either by adding subtitles or replacing existing voice narration with voiceover audio recorded in the target language. Sometimes clients elect to leave videos untranslated.

Since Articulate Storyline 360 courses are custom made by their creators there tend to be unique aspects to every course. Preparing quotes for Storyline translation projects are as a result among the more complex quoting processes we engage.

Professional translation of elearning materials is carried out much like translation of other content not under the umbrella of elearning. Pricing for services is based on word count of the material with consideration given to volume and measurable repetitions as cost reducing factors. Translators are native speaking in the assigned target language and in most cases reside in-country where the target language is spoken natively. Translated text is proofread by a second linguist as a final step before delivery of translation projects. These general steps are common to all translation projects.

After translation and proofreading the next step in the process depends on the nature of the material and how it will be conveyed to a target audience. If the translated and proofread text is part of an elearning applications such as Articulate 360 or Storyline then the text is brought back into the elearning application environment for finalization. Or translated text can be part of a formatted guide document within an application such as Adobe InDesign and eventually made available to its intended audience as a PDF file. Translated text can be presented in a number of different formats.
