OpenXML: RTL properties not correctly handled in PPTX

Created by: Anonymous

Hello Okapi team,

I translated a PPTX file from English to Arabic. The target Arabic file is not right aligned at all. I mean, it's still LTR, not RTL. Is this a known issue? Or did I miss something? I know that MateCat uses okapi filters, and the same issue is there. Is there any workaround for this? How can I generate a well-formatted RTL Arabic PPTX file?

That being said, if I convert the files to sdlxliff, translate it, then save target as from withing Trados Studio, the layout is right-aligned.

Please see screen shot.

Thanks, Mohamed
