Working with Right-To-Left (RTL) Languages

Theme setting plus language setting allows you to set content to display properly for supporting Hebrew, Arabic and other right-to-left languages

To support languages that display right-to-left requires two things to be in place:

Use of a Theme that supports RTL
Setting the Project language to a language that uses RTL

RTL Example

This Hebrew translated version of our Become a Wine Expert sample course has been set up as RTL.

Themes that support Right-to-Left display

Three of dominKnow's available Themes can be used to support right-to-left languages:

Claro No Navigation for Claro content
Course Player Experience for Claro and Flow content
Storyview for Flow content

To use the Course Player or Storyview Themes, you will need to create a version of the Theme that sets the navigation/player bars to display as Right to Left.

That setting is available on the Theme Designer's Player tab:

Since the Claro No Navigation theme doesn't display navigation or player bars there is no need for a right-to-left setting.

This article explains how to create a Custom Theme:

Project Language Setting

In addition to using a theme set to support RTL, you also need to set the Project's Language to your RTL language.

This setting tells the on-page content such as text elements to display right-to-left.

The Language setting is on the Project Properties Panel, available by selecting the drop-down triangle beside the Project name at the top of the interface.
