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?

Hi Deb! We don't have an update at this time and this isn't on our current roadmap.
Our priorities have shifted, for now, though we understand this is important for many users.
If we have any news for you regarding right-to-left support, we'll update this thread!I also need the RTL language support for many clients who need their courses translated to multiple languages. Storyline just isn't right for every course.
One reason you might not think it's particularly important to users is that they may have given up asking for it. If after 5 years it's not even on the horizon, that's very discouraging!
Yes, I confirm that Raphaels method works very well. We have used it in several projects with different clients. To find the step by step, just click Raphael Cominelli's name above this post or in this text.
And a big thank you to Mr Raphael 🙏
Hello, are there any updates about the improvement?
Hoping it'll be solved!
Hi,
I am not able to find the Arabic, RTL in Rise till now. Is it still in WIP?
Hi
I am happy to know that, how could i get this tool ?Hi Ahmed
Email me directly on saul@ilearn-group.com and I'll get it setup for you.
we need Right to left language support for Rise, such as Arabic and Hebrew. This is very important feature because we need eLearning for many languages include RTL.
Any news on RTL? Does it work in rise now?
Hi Stefan,
RTL is unfortunately still not supported. The only way to make it work, is by modifying the SCORM/xAPI file, as mentioned by Raphael in one of the earlier posts on this thread.
Hi Saul, Could you help me on RTL text support please. Best regards, Siba
I have successfully completed a RTL conversion, you just modify the index file and add a css file to the package. I'd like to test out all the block types so if anyone has a large course with many block types let me know if you can share your course, and we can test out my tool.
Hi Phil, Could you help me please, on changing the Right side menu and RTL text?
Hi,
RTL change can be done pretty easy and does not take very long to do. Here are the steps needed for xAPI format, probably Scorm works similar:
1) Export course from Rise
2) Unzip the downloaded file
3) Locate the "index.html" file and open it for editing
3.1) Change the <HTML> tag:
from : <html lang="en" class="">
to : <html lang="ar" class="" dir="rtl"> <== Arabic
or to : <html lang="he" class="" dir="rtl"> <== Hebrew
3.2) Save and close the "index.html" file
4) Locate one or more css files in "lib/rise" folder and open it for editing (usually there are two)
4.1) Copy all its content
4.2) Put it INPUT pane on https://rtlcss.com/playground/#
4.3) Copy the content of the OUTPUT pane
4.4) Replace content of the original css file
4.5) Save and close
5) Compress the folder to create an edited copy of the zip file
We use this process for years and it works quite well.
Best,
Dominik
Hi Phil. What steps did you follow to a successful RTL conversion? There are several threads, and most of them follow different processes.
I have tried modifying the index file. But I think I'm missing the "adding a CSS file to the package" piece. Would you mind sharing your process? Thanks.
Right there with you. I am interested in all the clickable checkboxes and nav menu displaying correctly, and what about flashcards - am guessing those would need to be set up manually, if there are several involed. Also, was reviewing css in the past, though wondering if we could get the coding, rather than going to AI
A manual process like this is not practical every time you publish a Rise lesson and will not cover all the blocks and menu themes.
After years of development our tool does the job in 1click. We maintain it and add to it as Rise blocks are added.
Happy to set you up on a free trial.
