Japanese language support in Rise?

Hi Dan!

Thanks for reaching out and I hope you're enjoying Rise so far!

You could enter Japanese characters into Rise (for me I'd have to just copy/paste from Google Translate) but based on our current font set in Rise we don't have official support for Japanese languages. I don't have an ETA on if this will be added to our product roadmap, but I'll get your note here in the hands of the right people who help steer that! In the meantime, I'd suggest testing out the fonts available and how that works for your current Japanese text. As you're going through this, I also wanted to give you a heads up that there are certain UI labels that are only available in English right now, such as "Correct" in this image (ignore my jibberish Japanese):

The ability to edit those labels will be a new feature in Q1 '17. So stay tuned for that feature, as once it's available it'll be released to you immediately in Rise.

Let me know if you have any other questions and have a wonderful Holiday!

Thanks so much for the reply. In the interim I had thought about the copy/paste option and tried it out, and was excited to see that it worked! Hopefully this will work for this project, and glad to hear that we'll be able to edit the labels soon as well. Great product.

Oh, so glad to hear that Dan! Keep us posted as you continue to use Rise, and let us know if there is anything else we can assist with.

Hi Ashley,

How are you today?

Speaking of Dan's Japanese, I've noticed that the small dialogue that appears when first opening 360 is all in Japanese.  My daughter's fluent, but I am not...

Is there a way to rectify this?  Am going to pick up a subscription this weekend (for Christmas, I tell myself) so the problem may go away when I'm fully subscribed...

Have a great Holidays!

Hi Michael,

I haven't seen the desktop app appear in Japanese, but I know it's appeared in Chinese and I recorded a video on how to change that here.  It's doesn't have anything to do with the trial vs. full version, but seems to happen to some folks as a part of the installation process.

Let us know if that helps, and if not we'll want to get you working with our Support Engineers right away! 

Hello All!

Happy to announce that you can now customize the default text labels in Rise. This gives you the ability to make built-in course elements, such as buttons and lesson headers, say what you want them to say.

Brian has started a great discussion here if you'd like to check it out and you can find our support documentation here.

As always, we keep our Rise Version History up to date too.

Hi Alyssa,

But not Japanese at this point, correct?

Hi Brett,

Correct - we don't have built in support for Japanese language yet, but now that you can edit the labels you can copy and paste in the characters into the text labels as you were able to do with the other parts of the course. 

LOL - they may, we have a pretty diverse team! 

Let me know when you've got the case open and I'll follow along as well.

Hi,

Looking for a more recent reply on this thread. Does Rise support us building content using Japanese characters /text?

Thanks.
