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

Hi Articulate team, any update on right to left language support? It would really be useful for all of us who's creating courses in Arabic.
Hello Articulate Team!
I'm voting to have this functionality on your roadmap.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!
I would also like an update on when this functionality will be available given it was identified as a priority over 4 years ago
Hi All!
Thanks for reaching out and letting us know this is important to you. We don’t have an update for this right now.
In the time since this discussion was first posted, we changed course on right-to-left support. our focus is always to deliver features that will have the biggest impact on the majority of customers.We’ll let you know if r-t-l language support is on the horizon!
Any updates for the right-to-left support? We are interested in the program however we need it for Arabic courses.
Well they stringed us along for quite some time. Dont think RTL support was ever even on the agenda. Guess i'll have to switch tools. This post is from like 3-4 years ago! wow
We are seriously considering that.
Their attitude towards this issue is completely ethno-centric. Such a large and international company should know better, and prioritize inclusiveness over other things.
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.
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.
