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.

Right to left language In Rise

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

I'm sorry - I'm not an app developer so I don't understand the options that are presented here fully - but we were also planning to leave the course on the Articulate App because it will need to be updated periodically. Is there a solution available? It's unacceptable to me that Articulate advertises itself as handling multiple languages easily and can't handle the fourth most commonly-spoken language in the world.

Hi! It looks like this thread is 7 years old, but there is still not an update on R to L languages. I am trying to publish a Rise 360 file as a weblink, and even then, it flips what I have in my course. Any suggestions? Thank you!

We know this would add value to Rise 360! Our team is investigating RTL support and will make sure everyone is updated when this makes it on our roadmap. At this time, I don't have a timeline to share.

I also provide this service, Rise made some changes recently that makes setting the Language attribute a little more difficult. If anyone has a course review link, send privately and I'll send you back a preview of your RTL-converted course.
