Arabic text

I am trying to create a new course in Arabic, which is a RTL language.

When I save the text of the course, or other texts, the letters become fragmented and in reverse order.

I wonder if any has had an opportunity to develop a course in Arabic, and whether you have managed to resolve this issue.  Many thanks, fm

Have you maybe not configured Adapt to run in RTL mode? If your course will only ever be in Arabic then you set _defaultDirection in config.json to "rtl".

If you are creating a multilanguage course then you probably want to use the languagePicker extension, instructions are provided in the README for that extension.

Or is it that the text is becoming 'fragmented and in reverse order' whilst you are editing the JSON? If so then sorry I have no idea how to fix that as we're always provided with completed Arabic JSON files from our translation suppliers.
