Question

Multi lingual software simulations

Dear fellow e-learning developers,

At the moment I'm still looking if Captivate would be the right solution for us. So maybe some experienced users could shed a light on our situation. Which is the following:

We have a software application. For this application we would like to create e-learning with probably a lot of software simulations. Because we think its important to let people experience the software during training (setting up test environments is not an option). But we face the fact that we have multiple languages in our software. What would be an efficient workflow. I'm under the impression that I can swap video's in Captivate. Let's say I've recorded a English scorm. Finished it up with all the extra slides hotspots everything. I then want to make an German version as well. I can record a new recording (with a mouse recorder for instance), which is "exactly" the same as the English version time wise. The only difference is the display language of our software. Could I then simply swap the video?

Like to hear your experiences on this.

Thanks in advance,

Harold

    Not sure to understand what you want. Will you be creating software simulations in training mode or, as your last sentence seems to tell, only passive video screencasts?

    Simulation in the training mode. But if I record these with capitvate can I then replace the screenrecoding with another (language recording). I noticed if you click on the video in the asset library, you cannot simply replace the file like for instance in Premiere or After Effects. Does this make sense

    Sorry, still don't understand. You are again speaking about a 'video' in the Library. For software traibing, the Library has background, not videos except maybe for FMR slides. The Backgrounds are static images and they can be edited/replaced provided you keep same name. However, you also have the Hint/Success feedback messages which are appearing.

    Both PP and AE are video applications, which is something totally different.
