What is RTL (Right-to-Left)?

Writing direction of Arabic, Hebrew, Persian and Urdu, requiring mirrored page layout via the dir="rtl" attribute.

In more depth

RTL is more than text alignment: icons, carousels, breadcrumbs and margins flip too. CSS logical properties make supporting it dramatically easier.

Why it matters for your website

Understanding RTL (Right-to-Left) helps you make better decisions when taking a WordPress site multilingual — from choosing URL structures and engines to controlling costs. Transxlate handles the mechanics (language URLs, lang attributes, caching, hreflang on Pro) so terms like this become settings, not engineering projects.
