Appreciate any responses on this.

Have you tried editing the site in Arabic? Like changing the language and then editing it…

Hey, Thanks for response.

Yes I did but it won’t change the text direction from right to left. If we manually applied the text direction it will change the English version as well.

Stating “This will affect all the languages”.

Thanks.

Try this code, This should work for text. If you need for other elements just add similar code with that element

import wixWindow from 'wix-window';

$w.onReady(function () {
  const language = wixWindow.multilingual.currentLanguage;

  if (language === 'ar') {
    applyRtl();
  }
});

function applyRtl() {
  $w('Text').forEach(textElement => {
    textElement.html = `<div style="direction: rtl;">${textElement.html}</div>`;
  });

 

}

Thanks for the reply.

This works for adding RTL overrides to all text element, I also had to add text-align right to it - but there is a bug.

It replaces the AR content with English content on all the repeater components that to with the first child content.

Pushing it up for any other recommendation.

May you try this once, replace the element IDs-

import wixWindow from 'wix-window';

$w.onReady(function () {
  
  const language = wixWindow.multilingual.currentLanguage;

  if (language === 'ar') {
    applyRtl();
  }
});

function applyRtl() {
  $w('Text').forEach(textElement => {
    textElement.html = `<div style="direction: rtl; text-align: right;">${textElement.html}</div>`;
  });
  $w('#myRepeater').onItemReady(($item, itemData) => {
    $item('Text').forEach(textElement => {
      textElement.html = `<div style="direction: rtl; text-align: right;">${textElement.text}</div>`;
    });
  });
}
