Question

can I create a single captivate 7 software demo with captions and have multiple languages versions

First Timer here; we are a small but global company and we would like to create training videos for our worldwide customers.  What we want is to create a video once with English captions and then use the exact same video over and over but changing the language to German, Spanish, French and more each time we save it.

Example: we create a video demonstrating how to perform a specific task and save it in English.  Then, before we close this "English" file, we would like to save it in German, then save it again in French, etc. The idea is not to have to open the software and repeat the "click-by-click" action for each language; just perform the software navigation once but somehow change the language displayed in the caption balloons for each language.

Thank you for any assistance,

denny

    Hi there

    Certainly you will be able to click File > Save As and save as all the different languages.

    After you do that, you need to open each respective file and click File > Export > Project Captions and Closed Captions. This action should create a Microsoft Word document that may then be opened and translated. Then it's saved back and you click File > Import > Project Captions and Closed Captions to change the verbiage to the desired language.

    Cheers... Rick
