Arabic not showing in multiple-choice form

Ali

Hi all,

I am trying to use Arabic in a multiple-choice form but it does not show. It does show in other parts of the IAT template.

To go around this problem, I had to insert one English letter (e.g., O) before the Arabic sentence so force it to appear. Once I remove the English letter, the Arabic disappears. Setting the font to Arabic on the first page does not help.

I am attaching a screenshot showing the Arabic write with the O before each sentence. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Ali,

That's pretty awful, thanks for pointing this out. It seems to be a bug in the GUI toolkit that OpenSesame uses (PyQt5), so really solving it won't happen until this has been cleared up in the toolkit. However, as a workaround you could define the response options in an inline_script:

var.option1 = "اختبار"
var.option2 = "اختبار"

And then refer to these in the form_mulitple_choice item:

Hope this helps!
