Captivate 3 Displaying Bidirectional text (Arabic with some English words)

I am using Captivate 3 for a project that is localized into several languages. When I try to import an XML file containing both Right to Left text (Arabic, in this case) and Left to Right text (English, interspersed within the Arabic text), the text seems to revert to to Left to Right for the entire sentence. Has anyone had any success displaying bidirectional text in Captivate? Does Captivate 4 have this capability?

Sentences that are completely Arabic, with no English words, display just fine.

If anyone has had success with bidirectional text, I would love to hear about the approach that you used and any suggestions you might have.

Thanks!

Hi there

I'm a bit confused. If something is translated, why is the text not all Arabic? Why is any English present whatsoever?

Cheers... Rick

The Arabic text is providing a description of a screenshot and some of the elements in the screenshot are in English, so the text refers to them as they are named on the screen. There are also some product names that are in English and are referred to with their English names.
