I see, I misunderstood your first message. We will control the display in style sheets then. Thanks.

    After you generate a TinCan, in the style sheet (main.bundle.css) search and replace "left" to "right" and "right" to "left" throughout the file. Also change language to “he” at the beginning of file Index.html.

    change:

    <html lang="en" class="">

    to:

    <html lang="he" class="" dir="rtl">

      Not much good when you send to Review though. Struggling with Arabic translations. This support was requested a longtime ago.

      What is annoying is that the text shows correctly in Edit mode but when in Preview and Publish mode it all reverts to the left.

        So before we try - can you confirm if this this workaround does actually work when published? If not looks like only current solution is to convert to storyline 360.

      and for Arabic, do you change to 'ar' at the beginning of file Index.html?
