Hello,
We are preparing a survey in Urdu, which uses the Arabic script (right to
left).
The option bubbles still appear on the left but this makes it easy to make
mistakes with a long option list - because the bubbles are far from the
text.
Is there a way to put them on the right?
Thank you!
This likely requires a Java code change, as these displays are constructed
dynamically. Do you have anyone that could make the needed software
changes? We would gladly accept the changes into the main code tree.
Please note that there may be translation issues with Urdu. I have asked
people to confirm that the translations display values correctly,
particularly during download, but have not gotten any response or feedback
from users of Urdu. I am concerned because the translations do not appear
to use LTR / RTL marks around the substitution parameters.
If you find an issue in the translations, please register to be a
translator of Urdu and fix the issue -- to do that, search for a
combination of:
transifex LTR arabic
on the list and follow the instructions I gave on that thread.

Since I'm working on fixing translations in Arabic, I have made
configuration file modifications to the standard ODK Collect screens to
hopefully switch the checkboxes to the appropriate sides for RTL languages.
Download and try this test build with those changes:
But, for the prompts within a form, that would require careful code changes.

Dear Mitch,
Thanks so much for this. I think our skills are not at the level needed
for this - so we hope to keep an eye for anyone doing this in the future
for our next survey!
All the best.
