Oriental languages are very specific since they are written right-to-left and their system of writing is completely different from European. Striving to satisfy our oriental clients’ needs in conversion we dedicated our best professional resources to solve this problem. iSpring lead developers Aleksey Malov and Aleksey Vasenev have been working hard on solving this problem for more than 3 months. They had to deal with a number of problems unusual for Europeans:
1. Very often several letters when written one after another may generate one symbol.
2. One letter may look differently depending on where it stands: in the beginning, middle or end of the word.
3. Combination of English and Arabic strings with different writing direction in one text causes additional problems.
These and some other problems were resolved via dozens of experiment with Arabic, Farsi and Hebrew texts, reading tons of documentation and development of oriental languages support modules with more than 4 thousands lines of C++ code. And now we are 100% sure that iSpring support of oriental languages is the best on the market!
iSpring Pro elaborates PowerPoint texts symbol-by-symbol handling all of the international particularities. Special fonts are embedded in the resulting Flash file so your oriental texts in converted Flash movie look identically as in your original PowerPoint presentation.
We will be happy if you evaluate improved iSpring conversion. Just download our test presentation or simply view converted Flash movie.
iSpring Pro is available for download, we appreciate any feedback from you.

Hi,
I really like to use iSpring presenter because it supports Arabic language. Yesterday, I was trying to make a quiz in Arabic, but it didn’t work. Arabic letters would appear isolated from each other (and in the wrong direction). If you provide me with an email address, I will be happy to send snap shots of this problem.
I’m a professor of instructional technology and I do lots of training. I used to use Adobe Presentere but I had a problem with Arabic text. iSpring presente is better in handling this issue, however, in the Quiz builder this issue has not been fixed yet.
I appreciate your feedback,
Amjad

Hi,
Thank you for your feedback.
It’ll be great if you can send us the presentation (or just a slide with the quiz) and the quiz that illustrate the problem. Our e-mail address is “support@ispringsolutions.com”.
iSpring creates folders in the folder there original PowerPoint presentation is located. Please send the folder named “Quiz” along with the PPT file.
We guarantee absolute confidentiality of the files you will provide us with. They will be used only for reproducing the issues and researching it.
Thank you in advance!
