Right to left language In Rise
Hi
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 li...
Hi Phil, Could you help me please, on changing the Right side menu and RTL text?
Hi,
RTL change can be done pretty easy and does not take very long to do. Here are the steps needed for xAPI format, probably Scorm works similar:
1) Export course from Rise
2) Unzip the downloaded file
3) Locate the "index.html" file and open it for editing
3.1) Change the <HTML> tag:
from : <html lang="en" class="">
to : <html lang="ar" class="" dir="rtl"> <== Arabic
or to : <html lang="he" class="" dir="rtl"> <== Hebrew
3.2) Save and close the "index.html" file
4) Locate one or more css files in "lib/rise" folder and open it for editing (usually there are two)
4.1) Copy all its content
4.2) Put it INPUT pane on https://rtlcss.com/playground/#
4.3) Copy the content of the OUTPUT pane
4.4) Replace content of the original css file
4.5) Save and close
5) Compress the folder to create an edited copy of the zip file
We use this process for years and it works quite well.

Anyone using Dominik's method will realize you need a LOT more css to accommodate all Rise block types and right-hand navigation, I do not recommend using his method.
Hi Phil,
Thank you for your feedback. The method I described works really well and it takes not even 5 minutes per module to modify it. In the end everyone has to decide which method works best for themselves. It would be fantastic, if you developed an even better solution.
I am happy to test your solution as well. It is always good to improve existing processes.
Best regards,
Dominik
HI Dominik, I tried this method a few times and it doesn't work for me.
When you say copy all of the contents from .css files, are you doing this 1 by 1 or copying contents from both and pasting to both .css files?
Appreciate you time :)Hi Shayne,
It seems that Articulate made some updates/changes to the Rise output, as it looks different now. It seems that the workaround is no longer working. I just tested it and was unsuccessful. That's a bummer. Thank you for mentioning it. We will have a look and see, if we can find another workaround.
Sorry that I have no better news.
Best,
Dominik
