English / Arabic branching course text inputs

Hey all, long time reader, first time poster lol.

I have a branching course that branches to English and Arabic.  On one slide on each of the courses, I have a text input.  The English font input is Arial.  What does the the Arabic font need to be set too?  I assume that the keyboard configuration will pick up the Arabic in Saudi Arabia.  Thanks in Advance. T

    Hello TomHarte77,

    Thanks for reaching out!

    Storyline 360's text input uses the system font and keyboard to enter text. This means if your keyboard is set to use English, the entered text will be in English, and so forth. If learners access the course in Saudi Arabia and their keyboard uses Arabic as the language, then the text they enter will be in Arabic as well. If your branching course uses both English and Arabic, you might run into text orientation issues since English is read from left to right while it is the other way around for Arabic. 

    Let us know if you run into any issues and we'll be glad to help!
