a) The Guidance_hint Icon (i) is cut off as “)” in KoBoCollect for Arabic (right aligned language), if there is no additional hint for the same question. Setting is: AR language as app and as form and Form management > Show guidance for questions is: Yes - collapsed.
b) Also, if a (normal) hint is set in AR, KoBo will automatically also add and show the same for EN (default language), even if nothing in XLSForm cell…
OCHA server, XLSForm, tested also in XLSForm Online. Current Enketo and KoBoCollect versions (19/07/2020). Firefox (up-to-date, 78.0.2, 64-bit) for print. Same results with Chrome.
A workaround is to add a dummy “-” (normal) hint for AR. But KoBo will then also create automatically a “-” hint in EN interface and print-out (since some months).
Hi
In addition to what @Kal_Lam has mentioned in his response, I see no error in the display.
I also noticed that your Enketo page could be an issue with your browser as opposed to Enketo. I would suggest you do check on the following two areas:
Check if this works in other browsers?
If No to 1 above, try opening an Arabic page (without translation) in your browser and see if you get any issues.
Hello @stephanealoo,
I am sorry to say, but it’s about KoBoCollect (Android). So, I think, broser issues are not relevant here. I. will come back to the topic this evening.
Have a nice week-end.
Kind regards
Hello @Kal_Lam
May I ask you, please, to review the steps in the bug report. It seems that:
You only changed the language for the form, but also need to change to AR in GENERAL for KoBoCollect system on the device: Main Menu >> General Settings >> User interface >> Language
You have left the default for Show guidance for questions as :“No”. But we need to set it here to “Yes - collapsed”: General Setting >> Form management >> Form filling >> Show guidance for questions >> Yes - collapsed.
Probably, you will then get the same two screens as above in the beginning of the bug report.
Side-note: For AR (and probably other right aligned languages) we always need to change to AR in the General setting to AR and in the form settings to AR. Otherwise elements like choice-buttons, lists, entry cursor, top title, etc. will not be right aligned.
Kind regards
Could we see if the issue still persists in KoBoCollect v1.27.1 (which is an upcoming release of the KoBoCollect android app). Apologies at my end as i could not test the same (due to language barrier):
.
Of course, this is a minor problem. And we found a workaround (add dummy normal hint, like - for AR, see second screenshot on top). But it may touch other right aligned languages too and confuse enumerators.
Could you tell me, please, how to test against a future KoBo version? (Maybe extract this as extra topiic?)
Kind regards
