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.

  You've been saying this for 2 years. Very disappointing...

Hi all, does any one have an Arabic Rise example they could share with me? Happy to sign an NDA if needed? A large client wants to look at an example before going ahead and I need ANYTHING to show them - pretty please? Thanks!

  Hello.
  
  We have recently completed a long, security awareness course in Arabic.
  
  The course is called BSAFE. We had to do some tweaks for the CSS.
  
  You can find the course here: training.dss.un.org
  
  Good luck.

Hi Tim,

We know how important this feature is to you and other folks here in this discussion, and we're listening to all your feedback. This feature is still on the table, but it's not on our immediate roadmap. We'll share your thoughts with the right folks and let you know if our plans change.

Hi everyone,

I want to clarify our plans for Right-to-Left support in Rise 360. This 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. I hope this allows you to make informed decisions as you move forward with course development.

  Hi Alyssa, thanks for the feedback. Considering that Arabic is the 5th most spoken language in the world, one would consider that it is kind of important to have this type of support. There understandably would not be a significant customer base for RTL languages if those customers can't actually make use of the tool. Considering this functionality is available in Storyline, it would be helpful for Articulate to have this consistency across their products. There are no forthcoming features listed on the What's New, Whats Next page for Rise (or any other tool), or a roadmap to look at, so one doesn't really know what the more relevant/impactful features are, that are being developed.

  How do you decided what features would impact the majority if customers? Do you send out surveys, or have any other polling system that we can vote for most urgently needed features?
  
  Is there a way for the customers to actively influence these decisions?
