Chinese Button Label in Rise

Jun 21, 2018

I had buttons translated from English to Chinese for one of our courses.  Under the following sections:

Lesson 4 of 7 and Step 1 of 3, I am unable to fit all of the characters in that section.  For example:

Lesson 4 of 7 = 第4课,共7课 ( I can't fit the character after the number 7)

Step 3 of 6 = 第3步共6步 (I can't fit the character after the number 6)

Is there a way the programmers can give us the ability to increase the character count to one more character. I may have the same problem for an Arabic course we are having it translated. 

Thank you

Not sure it would customization but opening the field to allow other characters.  It would be valuable to those building courses in Chinese, Russian, and other languages that may need a few more characters.  The benefit of using Rise for those of us that are building courses, is the ability to deliver the same course in other languages quickly, efficiently and in a affordable manner to either our internal and external clients.  That seems to be up-sell in why to use Rise.  We are only talking about the programmer adding a few more characters in a certain area of the button customization page.  I would think the reason why we are allowed to customize buttons is to be able to easily convert a course from one language to another. So we are already doing the customization in that area.

Hi Marcela, 

Thanks for sharing that image! As Angel mentioned, it would need a change to the current layout of our text labels, but I'd like to know if you were able to change the labels to fit your needs using an XLIFF translation?  You'll see that as one of the options here. That may be a good method while our team continues to add additional languages to the built-in label set!
