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.
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
Their attitude towards this issue is completely ethno-centric. Such a large and international company should know better, and prioritize inclusiveness over other things.
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!
I'm also voting to have this on the roadmap as soon as possible, to say that our focus is always to deliver features that will have the biggest impact on the majority of customers is strange, considering the size of the market in the Middle East and the number of clients that require this functionality.
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.
Hi, old post but we have developed an in-house solution to the RTL issue, which we sell to our Articulate customers. A simple 1-click solution. no coding needed. Ping me for details.
as this feature request is now more than 6 years old, I wanted to check in if there are any updates? Still a very important topic for us (my first comment here is from 2018).
We are still using workarounds to be able to translate Rise courses into Arabic and Hebrew. They work, but they are not great.
We have developed a post-publishing tool to localize all Rise content, menu, navigation etc, to support Right to Left languages. It allows you to enter all content in Hebrew/Arabic and then literally with one click it publishes the RTL version. You can email me for further details saul@ilearn-group.com
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.
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.

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.
Any updates for the right-to-left support? We are interested in the program however we need it for Arabic courses.

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 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!
Hello Articulate Team!
I'm voting to have this functionality on your roadmap.
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.
Hi, we also need Rise with rtl for our Arabic staff. Am hoping it can be added soon. Thanks.

Hello, is there ANY update on this? This thread is 5 years old and there's STILL no support for right-to-left text direction.
We've also started translating our courses to Arabic, and this is quite a concern.

Hi Dominik
We have developed a post-publishing tool to localize all Rise content, menu, navigation etc, to support Right to Left languages. It allows you to enter all content in Hebrew/Arabic and then literally with one click it publishes the RTL version. You can email me for further details saul@ilearn-group.com
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.
