    Hello, Can someone further my knowledge of Arabic language option in Articulate 360?  Specifically, is the Arabic associated with a specific dialect of the Arabic language, i.e., Egyptian? 

    I know many languages have varying dialect, like Portuguese.  I need to know which dialect Articulate 360 follows.  

    Thanks, Tom 

  • Hi Tom,

    The Arabic Text to Speech within Storyline 360 is in its universal form, which is Modern Standard Arabic (MSA). 

  • Hi, Has the bug where Arabic text is not reading in RTL direction when using Text-to-Speech been fixed?  I've imported text translated from English into Arabic into my course and the text is flowing correctly, but the text is read in the wrong direction in the "Insert Text-to-Speech" dialogue box.

    Kind regards,

    Siobhan

    Hello! Has this been fixed? I'm unable as well to paste the text in RTL direction in TTS. I'm happy for any guidance you can provide at this point.

      Hello Iuliana!

      Sorry for the trouble! I've tried to recreate this on my end and I'm not having trouble pasting Right-to-Left text in the Text-to-Speech window. I've opened a case on your behalf so that we can take a look at your project file. We'll continue the conversation in your support case!
