read right to left texts

edited August 2024 in Technical Q&A

hi chris.
I have a problem with the Arabic language in ac. I have gathered all the texts and translated and imported them back to Unity but when I start the game the texts are not read right to left, I have enabled right to left next to Arabic translate but when I enable or disable this option nothing happens. I think this option is somehow not working. thanks for your answer
are there any other plugins I need to enable for reading right to left texts like Arabic and persian.
unity 2022.3.40f1
ac 1.80

  • The main effects of a Lanaguage having Reads right-to-left? checked are:

    • Scrolling effects are reversed (i.e. the last character is displayed first, the first last)
    • Input boxes are reversed
    • Dynamic labels are reversed per-word (e.g. "Use Item A on Hotspot B" becomes "Hotspot B on Item A Use")

    AC won't re-order the text itself - the text will need to be reversed as part of the translation before being imported.

    What is the exact behaviour you're getting vs the behaviour you're experiencing?

    hi. thanks for the reply. for example for menu item like start that in Arabic it will be شروع so i imported it like it and ac not read it right to left and it was عورش it was left to right readed like english. so you mean I must inverse it myself then it will be like right to left, so what ac do in this situation ?
    i need ac to read like the way it has to be read. right to left by word.
    thanks and have a nice time

  • AC won't reverse the characters of Menu element labels - it'll display as its imported. You'll want the text to be imported such that a static label displays correctly even if Reads right-to-left? is unchecked.

    Could you share screenshots showing how it appears in the Menu, and how it is present in the Speech Manager?

  • found solution. first must use Arabic or Persian maker softwares to make that texts for using in such environments then use it in unity. thanks
