Arabic text - Hyperlinks do not work

I found a workaround (apart from Hover/Visited states) it works. Look into my name (I replied to another stream) or here (if it works) https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/hyperlinks-not-working-after-translated-text-to-arabic 

Hope it helps.

PS-Articulate, this should really be fixed though. 

We have had to resort to using hotspots over underlined text instead. Which works but isn't truly accessible. 

Hi Barry,

I'm sorry you're having an issue with translated hyperlinks! There has been a bug reported where some hyperlinks in Arabic text aren't working as they should. I'm going to add your voice to that report. When there's any new information about the issue this conversation will be updated.

Thanks for reaching out!

Thank you John. 

I will raise a support case now anyway as I hope this gets fixed soon. 

Hi, Barry! 

Thanks for letting us know! I see your open case with our colleague Darwin. You are in great hands!

We'll continue the conversation over in the support case. 

Have a great weekend and happy developing! ☀️

Thank Andrea. I'll take a look at your workaround now. 

Hi Articulate Staff. We still cannot add hyperlinks using Arabic text and while John says this is only for some hyperlinks this is not the case for me. It is ALL Arabic text hyperlinks that do not work for me. 

How is this still a bug 9 months later?

I cannot understand why Articulate would not fix something that is quite a big issue. I will need to use the hotspot workaround, which isn't as accessible as proper hyperlinks. 

Luckily I did not have any hyperlinks within a block of text, so I created buttons instead for my list of useful links. 

Articulate, please get this fixed!
