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.

Hello. I would like to second that request. We are also building a course in ARabic and Rise's apparent flexibility with the language was one of the key selling points in us using it to develop the course.

Yes, we could possibly change the direction of the course by hacking into the CSS, but this should not be so difficult to accomplish from the application point of view in the settings. Besides, it would be a much cleaner solution.

Could you please address it?

Many thanks,

LP

Hi

any updates regarding the points below?

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?

  Hello, Seitwerk. We haven't made any updates yet. Right-to-left language support is a feature we may include in a future update, but currently, we're investing in features that have the broadest impact on the majority of customers. If we do decide to add this feature, we promise to let you know.

Any update on this? I have imported an Arabic Translated XLF file and it shows Right to Left as it was edited by an native speaker in his own country. When previewed, it switches to left to right.

I go through all of the text in the document to change it from Right to Left but the full stops and bullet points etc do not get effected by this.

Any update on Right to Left languages?

Thanks to Raphael Cominelli for sharing!

This was very helpful to us in delivering a translated presentation to our customer. I would like to ask: Does anyone has a translated xlf file with labels in arabic?

Best regards,

Henrik
