Rise Arabic/Hebrew Workaround
We are planning on localising a set of Rise lessons into many languages including Arabic and Hebrew. I am aware that Rise is not ready yet for bi-directional display.
Any suggestions on a workaround?

Hello, does anybody know if Rise now support Arabic and/or Hebrew?
Thanks for asking, Yasuyo. Rise 360 supports left-to-right languages right now. Thanks for letting us know you need support for Arabic and Hebrew!
That's great news! Do you know if there is an option we can toggle left to right display, or do we have to manipulate the CSS file in a TinCan?
Hi Yasuyo,
I'm sorry for the confusion! While Rise 360 does support left-to-right languages, it does not support right-to-left languages.
We'll let you know if we add support for right-to-left languages in the future!
I see, I misunderstood your first message. We will control the display in style sheets then. Thanks.
Hello Yasuyo, Would love to know how you can do that.
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">
Any further progress on this?
Can anyone confirm if the workaround actually worked or are people doing this in a different way???
HELP please :)Yes, I believe so. :)
@Admin-Team: Is there any update in relation to support being offered for right-to-left languages?
Thanks for asking, Andrew. We don't have right-to-left support on our development roadmap right now, but I appreciate you letting us know that feature is important to you!
Our company provides security training for the hotelier industry world wide. We have developed several courses in Rise in Arabic. However, it displays correctly in "edit" mode, but when published for web or LMS, it reverts to a "left to right" state. I hope Arabic settings are on a more immediate radar with Articulate right now.
Hi Alyssa,
Any news on this? Also see my comment 2 days ago.
Thanks in advance.
Hi @Admin team, now that Articulate is valued at $3.75 billion will you be looking into adding right to left support into the roadmap? By not doing so, you're effectively excluding millions of people from being able to receive content in their own language.
