Does H5P support RTL languages or not yet?

Hi all,

I saw that H5P is not supporting RTL languages (it's shown from left to right).

Please does it still not supporting RTL languages? Because it very important to support it as there's 22 countries using Arabic language as their official language.

Thank you

Hi Sofien,

I'm afraid not. The biggest hurdle is that the core team does not have experince with RTL. RTL will only be possible if someone from the community that knows RTL contributes the code.

The Moodle plugin is great, but what about more generic solution?

Hi ellara,

No updates yet. The good thing about H5P is that it is open sourced so anyone can make the changes or help (crowd) fund the development of this feature.

Hi,

I've been actively searching for a solution to a particular issue for quite some time now. Regularly visiting this forum in hope of updates, today I decided to try out the H5P Moodle plugin from https://github.com/iucc/h5p-moodle-plugin, and to my pleasant surprise, it worked seamlessly!
I've reached out to the developer and learned that they've already submitted the code to be included in the core H5P. Now, we're waiting for your team to incorporate it.
I'm hopeful that a member of the development team can address this matter soon, allowing us to fully leverage H5P for Arabic, Hebrew, and Persian.
