Hi people who are so much smarter than me,
I need help!
I have created several versions of the same course in different languages (simply duplicating the course and then changing the text to relevant language). All has worked as expected…until I had to do the same with Arabic.
Arabic is read from right to left and when I past the content, even with right alignment, it still (apparently) reads wrong.
I cannot seem to find a place to change the default language for the course to Arabic. I’ve tried to create a langauge version but that doesn’ t make any difference.
I’m happy to create a new course and copy paste the content in Arabic but need to have it read the right way…
Doing this will also ensure the UI is completely switched into right-to-left mode.
I would also advise doing this as a ‘language version’ with the ‘Version Title’ set to ar (the general language code for Arabic*) - doing this ensures that the exported output includes the correct language code set in the content so that the browser knows what language the content is in, this can be particularly important if your course needs to be accessible as it allows assistive technology such as a screen reader to determine what language the content is in.
* if you want to use a more specific language code such as ar-EG (Egyptian Arabic) that should be fine
