Right to left language In Rise
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

4 years ago Adam wrote that Articulate will tackle the RTL topic in Q1/2017. What has happened since then? We are desperately waiting for this feature. I would really love to know, how many companies/people have requested this feature so far.

We are very much waiting for this feature, as there are numerous clients which require Arabic translations. While the workaround has been helpful (provided by the community), it is still limiting in that we cannot use the desired range of block types, Articulate really needs to please provide some more input other than a stock message which is essentially meaningless.
Hi everyone,
I appreciate you taking the time to share how important right-to-left language support is for you. I want to be fully transparent so that you can make informed decisions for your future projects: right-to-left language support isn’t on our roadmap for development.
I understand that some people in this discussion have been requesting this feature for a while, and that doesn’t go unnoticed. We track every request we see in the community and evaluate them alongside our queue of bug fixes, new features already on the roadmap, and other projects.
Please keep in mind our roadmap is fluid and can change as priorities shift. Ultimately we commit to investing in features that have the broadest impact on the majority of customers. We will update you if we decide to add this feature to our roadmap in the future.

Any updates for the right-to-left support? We are interested in the program however we need it for Arabic courses.

I would also like an update on when this functionality will be available given it was identified as a priority over 4 years ago

Hello, is there ANY update on this? This thread is 5 years old and there's STILL no support for right-to-left text direction.
We've also started translating our courses to Arabic, and this is quite a concern.

Hi, old post but we have developed an in-house solution to the RTL issue, which we sell to our Articulate customers. A simple 1-click solution. no coding needed. Ping me for details.

Dear All,
as this feature request is now more than 6 years old, I wanted to check in if there are any updates? Still a very important topic for us (my first comment here is from 2018).
We are still using workarounds to be able to translate Rise courses into Arabic and Hebrew. They work, but they are not great.
Thank you.
Best,
Dominik Hello Sheikh! Thanks for reaching out; we are working on right-to-left language support for Rise right now! Since it's a part of Articulate 360, you'll get that feature as soon as it's released!

Hi, do you have any updates on this feature? Arabic language support is the key issue for us now in order to continue with the purchase of the product.
Hey there. Thanks for asking. I checked with our team, and it looks like that function is still in development. I can understand your need, however. When we get further information to share, we'll be sure to update this discussion! You can stay tuned with our What's New page for all the features that are added throughout Articulate 360.

Hi, I am checking the "What's New" page but last update was in December 2016.
Do you have some updates on the right-to-left language support? Do you have an estimated timeframe - couple of weeks / months. We need to decide whether to wait or switch to an other tool.
