Layout issue with numbers
I've translated a course using the Localization feature from English to Spanish & Portuguese and I've noticed a layout issue with numbers that I wouldn't expect.
We have a series of shapes with numbers to create an ordered list. When this is translated, scroll bars are added to each number (see attachments). The text size, margins, spacing, and line spacing are all the same when I compare with the original, but for a scroll bar is being added even though nothing is being translated.
How would we prevent this when using Localization?

Hi Troy_Dunton_MA the way to try and address this is to make the text fields larger. Make them at least the same size as the background circles. Remove any padding from the text field, turn off scrolling and then align the text correctly. Ensure you don't have any large line-heights or spacing set too. The biggest issue you currently have is that the field is set to scroll if the text overflows.
Hi SamHill,
I could change the margins and spacing in the translated version, but my question is more about why a number would be different between English and Spanish when Articulate auto-translates the text. If the #1 fits in the shape in English, the same #1 should fit in the translated version since it is the same character, font family, and font size.
Thanks,
TroyIs it using a different font for the other language? Can you check the properties if the translated project and see what has changed in terms of font and text field properties?
