I'm working on uploading an Arabic XLIFF file into RISE (translated from English) and am finding that there are major formatting problems that affect the text. Does anyone have tips and suggestions for making sure Arabic text is uploaded and displayed properly?
We spend more time trying to get Arabic to display correctly than all the other languages combined. This has been an issue for years yet it has not been resolved. We have been reduced to finding our own hacks to try and get Arabic to work correctly. Simply aligning text blocks so the right does not mean it is right to left reading. Having to export the project, hack the html code to rtl then repackage the scorm file is no good if there is no option for proofreaders to access the project unless it is then independently uploaded to a server fro them to view, which most do not have access to. We should be able to upload to Review so that Arabic proof readers have the same experience as any other language proof reader. If there is an issue with English it would have been rectified immediately.

Hi Mohamed, can you share the Arabic XLIFF file with me?
