RTL Text in Pro

Support
#1

Good morning,

This is a question about an upcoming project I have to work on soon. I need to translate an English website into Hebrew with RTL text. I plan to use WPML. The site also uses the Grid and WooCommerce.

Are there any special considerations or tutorials I should follow in order to do this? Anything that I need to do to switch to RTL or anything I need to be aware of or cautious of please?

Any tips or advice would be brilliant, thank you.

Hey Antony,

Pro, The Grid and WooCommerce has RTL layout support. Contents made with the builders though will need to be manually converted as it could not be overridden by by RTL styles in the theme.

Thanks.

Thanks Christian,

What do you mean by manually converted? How do I manually convert to RTL please?

Are there any KB articles etc about any of this please?

Hey Antony,

Sorry for the lack of details. There’s no documentation regarding RTL as when you enabled it in WordPress, the theme will switch your layout to RTL. That is possible because the theme already has RTL styles.

What I mean about manually convert is, you need to build your RTL page’s header, content and footer manually. That means that if you now have the English page, you need to save the page as a template then insert that template to the RTL version then manually rearrange the elements to display from right to left. There is no option to automatically flip all the contents.

But, you can easily flip elements where Flex Layout is available as it has a Reverse Layout option.

To your question:

Hope that helps.
