Arabic Language Supported in Flare v7?

Post by maestro247 »

I have a document that is in English, but contains hundreds of example outputs in several different languages. We are now trying to incorporate some Arabic language examples. The examples are contained within a table. If Flare doesn't support it, is there a workaround in HTML? I've tried simply pasting Arabic text and it appears fine, except backwards of course. Then I added a <dir>="rtl" tag within <html> with no success. Thanks in advance for any help or advice!

I have the same question. We have Arabic language examples and want the text to appear the way it should in Arabic. Copying and pasting the text into Flare shows the text but backwards.

Is there a setting we can use for pieces of text within a topic?

Not that I'm aware of. Could you make images of the text instead?

I found the following in the Flare documentation, "“Flare supports Unicode for all left-to-right English, Western, and Eastern European languages, and double-byte languages. Only left-to-right languages are supported.”

We will have to just "wing it" and use bits of screenshots but it isn't our ideal choice. We will use this workaround until Flare is able to handle right-to-left languages.

Thank you!

I've seem some users use Arabic in Flare, but offically its not supported and won't work on a skin

Good Morning!

When will Flare support Right-to-Left Languages?

We are preparing to release Arabic this year and Hebrew next year and we need to be able to provide documentation.
