How to convert English text to Japanese in Rise?

How do I convert English texts to Japanese? I looked at a few discussions on the forum where it was mentioned to have unicodes. I need some more explanation - My courses are in Arial font. What steps I have to do get the English texts to Japanese?

  • Did you upload Arial? If so I am guessing you did not use the Unicode version, that would be my first port of call or use another font for the Japanese text

      Yes, I uploaded the Arial font. You are correct, perhaps, that it is not a unicode. Now, if I need to get these translated to Japanese, are you suggesting that I upload a Japanese font and then use it? I'm told that MS Mincho / MS Gothic / Yu Gothic are generally used for Japanese text in MS word or PPT. Shall I download one of them and upload it to RISE 360?

  • Have you tried using the built in fonts one of those or probably all are unicode.

      The built-in codes are not translating the word correctly as reported by my colleagues. Is the reason why I'm little lost now.

        And I was digging deep within the organization policies (the one where I work) on what exact font I can use that is allowed and found that Noto Sans is, likely, the one that is allowed. If I get this font from the concerned team, can I just upload it in RISE 360?

  • Hi there, AP Training!

    The Rise 360 main menu font is set by design, but it sounds like you need to customize that font for your language character set to display correctly. Customizing the menu font isn't an option right now, but if we add this enhancement to Rise in the future, we'll let you know!
