Arabic Closed Captions
I have an Arabic course that contains closed cpations. When I import my translated VTTs, the text displays LTR instead of RTL.
See the attached image for reference.
You can see the punctuation i...
- if you publish to web, there is story.html in the publish folder
- if you publish to scorm, there are story.html and index_lms.html
- open the html files in an text editor (notepad++ is ok and free)
- add the 8 extra lines (modern player) or 6 lines (classic player) to the html file(s) and save the files and a copy of the file(s)
- on every publish the files are new created and overwrite the old version(s)
- as long as you don't change the storyline version, you can reuse the patches html file(s)
- if something goes wrong (e.g. the course don't start anymore) publish and try again
example: modern player -> story.html / index_lms.html
<style> if you use modern player
<style>
.message-window-heading > p {
text-align: right !important;
}
.message-window-text {
text-align: right !important;
}
</style>
<style> if you use classic player
<style>
.message-window-heading {
text-align: right !important;
padding-right: 15px !important;
}
</style>
these are no scripts, these are css styles
- these rules are overwriting the default rules in "output.min.css"
- therefore they have to be behind all .css files and contains the word "!important;"
Important: this is not a solution for Close Captions - this is for invalid answer prompt (the thread title don't match anymore)
Oh I see thank you. Would something similar to this work for closed captions? Or is that particular issue still unresolved?
Please disregard that last message. I've actually discovered a partial solution. In case anyone in the future has the same problem I did:
Copying and pasting from a right-to-left oriented document worked EXCEPT for the punctuation. Storyline captions were incorrectly placing the periods on the right. However, the text itself was correctly right-to-left.
To get the period to show up on the left, I pressed the "home" key, then the period key, and that placed it correctly.Hopefully this continues to work for me!
It is working, Thanks
Thanks, nice way to solve it! :)
