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 is displaying on the right side.

The onscreen text is fine as I have enable RTL in the Player.

What am I missing y'all?

  • I recently encountered this issue. I see that people are still asking about this problem. There is an easier solution than changing the lines in publish files. You need the Subtitle Edit program (it's free). Open the srt or vtt file and select all lines. Go to Edit\Reverse RTL start\end (for slected lines)\Save and Close. Import the VTT file into the storyline file. That's it.
