Hello, I am working on a BI Publisher report that contains both English and Arabic text. The issue I am facing is that English text appears misaligned when the session language is set to Arabic (AR). EN Version : AR Version: In the Arabic session, the English text is incorrectly right-aligned instead of being left-aligned, causing an unwanted layout. Additional Info: * The EN and AR texts are placed in separate table columns (one for EN and one for AR). * Despite this, the EN text still shifts to the right when the session language is Arabic. Question: How can I force English text to always be left-aligned, regardless of the session language? Any insights or solutions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Hi @ Mohamed N M ,not sure, if your problem is resolved yet or not. If not, then I would suggest trying following in Microsoft Word (the RTF template editor used for BIP): For Arabic sections * Select the Arabic paragraph. * Go to Home → Paragraph → Right-to-Left direction. For English sections * Select the English paragraph. * Set Left-to-Right direction.

BI Publisher - English Text Alignment Issue in Arabic Session

Mohamed N M

Hello,

I am working on a BI Publisher report that contains both English and Arabic text. The issue I am facing is that English text appears misaligned when the session language is set to Arabic (AR).

EN Version :

AR Version:

In the Arabic session, the English text is incorrectly right-aligned instead of being left-aligned, causing an unwanted layout.

Additional Info:

The EN and AR texts are placed in separate table columns (one for EN and one for AR).
Despite this, the EN text still shifts to the right when the session language is Arabic.

Question:

How can I force English text to always be left-aligned, regardless of the session language?

Any insights or solutions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

When uploading the RTF template, what language you have chosen? Can you try uploading the template with Arabic and retry?

Thanks,

Hi,
I’m getting the same result whether I choose AR or EN.

Thanks.

Hi @ Mohamed N M ,

I would really appreciate if you could test with the following setup: Navigate to "BI Publisher Preferences" of the user from "My Account" and ensure the "BI Publisher Preferences" of the user is set to Arabic.

If this is still missaligning, please change the language to English and retest.

Thank you,

Simona

Hi @ Mohamed N M ,not sure, if your problem is resolved yet or not. If not, then I would suggest trying following in Microsoft Word (the RTF template editor used for BIP):

For Arabic sections

Select the Arabic paragraph.
Go to Home → Paragraph → Right-to-Left direction.

For English sections

Select the English paragraph.
Set Left-to-Right direction.
