support for right-to-left?

Hi

Been looking forward to Rise after serious difficulties with the Adapt Tool. However, the lack of RTL support is currently a deal-breaker for me (and the Israeli/Arab community.. Is that an issue that will be resolved soon? Also, there is no hebrew font and as a result the text is displayed horrendously. there is a beautiful open version for open sans hebrew that will resolve this matter quickly.. pretty please? :) 

Thank you!

    Hey Danit, thanks a lot for your tip, it is working great!

    The only thing is that when you have IMAGE (on the left)+ text (on the right) , changing to rtl gets mirrored and they overlap, here an example:

    which would require to change the css - or is there any other workaround? thanks

      Hi. 

      my colleague tried to replace this margin-left from 8.33333% to 0% in the main.bundle.css 

      .block-image__col:first-child{width:50%;margin-left:-8.33333%}

      and this solved the issue of overlapping.

      I just noticed that something that still need some adjustment is the labeled graphic pop-up boxes.

      We are using articulate tools in several languages and I agree that RTL full support would be really a great added value!

    Hi Articulate Community,

    Thank you for the RTL discussion.  I am currently working with a client in Afghanistan and we are developing a course in Dari.  Have there been any updates on the RTL language in Rise or is the workaround still the best way to ensure the text and the images are RTL?

    Also, is there a way to put the images on the left?

    Thanks!

      Hi there, Nia. No updates on RTL in Rise 360 at this time. 

      Image & text blocks allow you to put the image on the left or the right. In Tabs and Accordion blocks, the image always aligns to the left. Is there another block you're using?

    Any updates?  I have a course in Storyline 360 in Hebrew and it doesn't support Right to Left.

      Hi there, Stephanie. Storyline supports all languages and scripts, including right-to-left scripts—such as Arabic and Hebrew—and double-byte character sets (DBCS)—such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean—so you can create courses in any language

      Regarding Rise authoring, we have paused our plans on developing right-to-left support for now, and we'll let folks know if that's something that's coming soon.

  • I'm quite disappointed to see that, Articulate has chosen to pause plans on right-to-left support in Rise, particularly since this discussion has been ongoing over several years. I do appreciate the workaround provided above, which helps address some issues. However, the way that numbered lists and bullets show up, even after changing the html is not consistent with RTL languages.

    Have any users found workarounds for this yet?

  • I was not aware that Rise 360 does not support RTL courses, and unfortunately, I received negative feedback from my clients as a result. Would anyone provide me with detailed instructions on how to make the SCORM 1.2 package coded to make the course Arabic compatible? 

  • I have followed all of the steps outlined above, but I am currently encountering difficulties in repackaging SCORM 1.2. Can anyone help me with this?
