Question:
What are Netflix's requirements for right-to-left (RTL) language timed text?
Answer:
We have two specific requirements for right-to-left (RTL) language timed text deliveries:
- We do not accept EBU STL files for RTL languages. Please only deliver TTML for Arabic, Hebrew, etc.
- If authored as RTL, all TTML files must explicitly call out RTL in either:
- writingMode in <region>
- tts:direction in <p> or <span> for every event
- tts:direction in <style>, when referenced by <p> or <span> for every event
