Character Limit in Rise Scenarios
We do translations for many multi-national companies that use RISE. These 150 character limits REALLY dont work well. Our clients regularly use 140-150 characters in English, which when they come back from translation can be 200+ characters. Right now our translators are pulling their hair out, cause in one scenario, the client used 149/150 characters, and they simply CAN NOT make it fit in 150 in multiple languages without information loss that is leading to it being harder for learners to know what the right answer is.
While I understand the need for multi-device and platform support, this design decision is having a real-world impact and I'd encourage Articulate/RISE to find solutions (even if it's something like limiting it to 150 unless a "check box" in RISE is checked to add scroll bars. Let the designers on our end decide what is more preferable because "clear and concise" understanding HAS to be more important than "looks".
