STORYLINE

Translate a Storyline course into Spanish

The Spanish request should not mean duplicating the .story file, rebuilding every trigger, and hoping the new SCORM export still tracks. Upload the zip Articulate already published.

Stop rebuilding the .story file for language

Storyline is the right place to change interactions and layout. It is a costly place to change language. Duplicating the project for Spanish creates a second source of truth. The next content update has to land twice. A slide trigger that worked in English breaks in the copy. The LMS then reports a different completion pattern than the original course.

The published SCORM zip is already the artifact your LMS trusts. Translate that zip. Review every string. Swap screenshots and narration that still show English. Export a Spanish course without opening Articulate again.

How it works

  1. Export SCORM from Storyline the way you already do for English.
  2. Upload that course zip. Choose Spanish as the target language.
  3. Run AI translation on the HTML and locale strings inside the zip.
  4. Review buttons, quiz feedback, and glossary terms before you accept.
  5. Download the Spanish zip and upload it to Moodle, Canvas, or Blackboard.

The same workflow for French, German, and the rest

Spanish is the request we hear first. The workflow does not change for French, German, Portuguese, Japanese, or any other target language. Pick the language, review the draft, ship the zip. Captivate and Rise exports follow the same path — upload the SCORM zip the authoring tool already produced, not a rebuilt source file.

Can I translate a Storyline course into Spanish without opening Articulate?

Yes. Upload the SCORM zip Storyline already exported. You do not duplicate the .story file or rebuild triggers for Spanish.

Does this work for Captivate and Rise as well?

Yes. Any SCORM 1.2 or SCORM 2004 zip from Storyline, Captivate, or Rise can be translated the same way. The authoring tool stays out of the language pass.

What if I need French or German instead of Spanish?

Choose that language at translation time. Spanish is the example; the review-and-export steps are identical for every supported target language.
