How do you do translations
2776 0 5I'm really struggling with the translations process. How do you create translated versions of a project?
I've followed the instructions ->
duplicate for translations
exported XML file
Translated XML file
Imported
BUT nothing get translated?

You need to select a language for the duplicated project. And then when you get the excel file add the translated text into the translation column. Save that edited excel spreadsheet and Import it into dominKnow. When you select the import feature it will find the correct project that the excel spreadsheet belongs too.

( 0 )Thanks Brent however I have a few problems here.
The only file i can get my project to export into is XML. I sat for nearly 1 hour waiting for the program to export the text into Excel, more than once, and nothing ever happened.
When I add translations to the XML and load it into the program nothing changes, I still see the text in English and if I try again the system tells me a file was already loaded..

( 1 )In the XML file you will see sections like this < TEXT > - < / TEXT > -< TRANSLATION > -< ![CDATA[]] > < /TRANSLATION > What you need to do is put the translation in the 2nd section and leave the original as is. (Make sure you include any HTML tags you see from the original.)
Based on your comments I suspect you are changing the original and if you do that you won't see any changes.
re: the Excel export - please submit a ticket to support at support@dominknow.com and they can help resolve that for you. Be sure to include the dominKnow ONE URL/site you are logging into as well as the name and course ID you are attempting to export.

Do I understand correctly the translation goes inbetween the translation tags as shown in my previous comment?
Thanks - then I don't know what I'm doing it just doesn't seem to want to work for me at all.
I recommend you send a ticket into support@dominknow.com. They can then help you and also see into your site if you permit them.
