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

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).
Hi there,
I would also like to add my vote for Articulate to further investigate this option, as RTL text is an increasingly important aspect of ensuring access for our learners. I truly hope that this is on the roadmap somewhere as our ideal is to purchase licenses for our organisation, but without RTL we cannot do that.
I really appreciate Raphael's workaround, but would also echo the request that has been made here by many earlier for rise to prioritize rtl-support as a standard feature in its coming upgrade.
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
what about the arabic support for rise ? still not working in arabic ? RTL
Hi Ahmed,
We do not have plans to include right-to-left support in Rise 360 right now. If our plans change and we decide to add this feature to our roadmap, we'll let you know.
This is really rather disappointing, considering the amount of people that have requested this feature and the amount of time that has passed since the first request.
I second that.
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.
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.
