Hi I am developing courses in Arabic Language. I just started using Articulate 360. I tried to add content using Rise. I could add Arabic text, but I faced many issues. Numbering and bullet list come left the text. As Arabic is a right-to-left language, it should be right. Text alignment also is left to right Navigation Bar is left No Arabic fonts available, I could only use the default one. Could anyone help me solve the problem? Regards Sheikh Maawiya

Dear all, Unfortunately, although more than three years have passed since the first request for the management of RTL languages, an integrated solution in Rise does not yet appear to be available. As previously mentioned by Dominik, since the beginning of the year, in our course offer we manage 2 RTL languages and after several attempts the following is currently the best temporary solution to which I have arrived. Also be aware that this solution still does not work perfectly with all blocks. Please let me know if anyone has comments or suggestions. Regards,Raphael Rise RTL workaround Export course from Articulate Rise (I tested it using TinCan format) Unzip the downloaded file Locate the index.html file and open it for editing Change the <HTML> tag: from: <html lang="en" class=""> to: <html lang="ar" class="" dir="rtl"> for Arabic or to: <html lang="he" class="" dir="rtl"> for Hebrew Save and close the index.html file Locate the main.bundle.css file in lib folder and open it for editing Copy all its content Put it in the INPUT pane on https://rtlcss.com/playground/# (this link will bring you to a third party website) Copy the content of the OUTPUT pane Replace content of main.bundle.css Save and close main.bundle.css Compress the main folder to create a new copy of the zip file Upload the new zip file to your LMS

We have found some issues with Image Carousel, Quote Carousel, Stacked Flash Cards and Process blocks. There might be also some other blocks (we have not yet tried all of them). For some blocks we saw inconsistencies with previous and next buttons ("<" and ">" arrows).

I'm also voting to have this on the roadmap as soon as possible, to say that our focus is always to deliver features that will have the biggest impact on the majority of customers is strange, considering the size of the market in the Middle East and the number of clients that require this functionality.

Hi guys, I'd like to give credit to my friend and co-worker Lior – he's the one who actually did what I've bragged about before – making rise work RTL, and he's been so kind and shared how he did it: In the index.html file, he changed the <HTML> tag from this: <html lang="en" class=""> to this: <html lang="he" class="" dir="RTL"> ("he" sets the language to Hebrew, and "rtl" sets the direction right to left)That took care of the direction of the text. Next he changed the font to one that looks better with Hebrew text, using the <STYLE> tag that appears further on in the file. This is what the original looks like: .brand--head, .brand--head * { font-family: Open Sans !important; } .brand--body, .brand--body * { font-family: Open Sans !important; } .brand--lhead, .brand--lhead * { font-family: Open Sans !important; } .brand--lbody, .brand--lbody * { font-family: Open Sans !important; } .brand--ui, .brand--ui * { font-family: Lato !important; } .brand--beforeHead:before { font-family: Open Sans !important; } .brand--afterHead:after { font-family: Open Sans !important; } And this is Lior's version: .brand--head, .brand--head * { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif !important; } .brand--body, .brand--body * { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif !important; } .brand--lhead, .brand--lhead * { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif !important; } .brand--lbody, .brand--lbody * { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif !important; } .brand--ui, .brand--ui * { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif !important; } .brand--beforeHead:before { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif !important; } .brand--afterHead:after { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif !important; } I'm attaching these instructions in color (it's more clear) Hope you find this helpful And thank you Lior!

Agreed. This product feature request has been running for over 3 years.

I'm also eagerly waiting for Rise to support RTL

Meanwhile I've exported the files of the course I've created, and made off line changes to the CSS file so the text direction will be from right to left.
This took care of most the text but of course graphic elements stayed aligned to the left…

I think that as a temporary workaround it's not too bad…

Oops! 😱 I've accidently deleted my post on how to make right to left content work with Rise,
so here it is again:

Export and download your Rise project.

In the "index.html" file, change the <HTML> tag from this:

<html lang="en" class="">

To this:

<html lang="he" class="" dir="rtl">

"he" sets the language to Hebrew, and "rtl" sets the direction right to left

If you're using a language that's not supported by the default font used by Rise, you must add the font file to the directory:   lib\fonts,
and changed the font in the "index.html" file, using the <STYLE> tag

Write your font instead of the bolded ones below:

      .brand--head, .brand--head *   { font-family: Open Sans !important; }

      .brand--body, .brand--body *   { font-family: Open Sans !important; }

      .brand--lhead, .brand--lhead * { font-family: Open Sans !important; }

      .brand--lbody, .brand--lbody * { font-family: Open Sans !important; }

      .brand--ui, .brand--ui *       { font-family: Lato !important; }

      .brand--beforeHead:before { font-family: Open Sans !important; }

      .brand--afterHead:after { font-family: Open Sans !important; }

Save the "index.html" file, and you're done!

Hello Everyone,

I also wanted to check on an update for the right-to-left support. Any news? It would be great if you could share an ETA. That would help a lot regarding our planning, otherwise we are stuck.

Thank you.

Hello everyone,

Do you have an update on the RTL support? It's great that the translation feature is now available, but without the RTL support we still can't use Rise properly as we have to offer all language versions at the same time (including Arabic).

We are also desperately waiting for this feature.

Thank you.

Hello again,

I really would appreciate an update. This topic is very important for us. As I wrote in my comment above, unfortunately we can't use the translation feature as long as there is no RTL support. We always have to offer all languages (Our RTL are Arabic, Farsi and Hebrew) and we simply do not have the resources to create an Rise and a Storyline version of the same content.

I really do like Rise and the features it offers, but currently it is quite useless for us.

Thank you.
