Hi All,

I am trying to create a Arabic version of geometrixx-outdoors demo site as a part of POC for my new project.

But, i dont see Arabic language translation available while creating language copy. Though other languages are visible.

How do i see Arabic or Arabic+ in the drop down for language copy.

Few translations are available for page titles in translator for e.g. Company,Community,Toolbar,Blog etc.

How do i go about it.

Any pointers will be helpful.

Hi,

You should create a root level of language copy.

E.g. create home page with name iw_il.

You will see .

Hi Illia,

Thanks for prompt reply.please see the screenshot, i am not getting Arabic/Arabic+ translation listed.

Thus, i am not able to perform the translation.

Also, i would like to know, how can i handle 'RTL' issue.

For e.g. If i have top navigation menu, which floats left for english language, how will i make it to float right in Arabic version.

For your second part of question, please have a look at this old forum question:-

I would like you to go through these community articles:-

//Specialized Layout Requirements

Languages such as Arabic and Hebrew are read right-to-left (RTL). Often times, layouts and imagery from a site’s master branch are not designed with these special language requirements in mind. For example, text within a background image requires sufficient space in the image to safely incorporate the copy and is usually displayed at one end of the image, as seen below.

I hope this would be helpful to you.

Thanks and Regards

CSS right to left direction & floating elements

direction:rtl

When developing a website for Arabic one of the most common questions is how to get it work with a reverse direction. Actually there is the CSS property direction:

    .my-class {
    direction:rtl;
    }
    which makes the page right aligned.

Floating elements

However sometimes there are elements on the page which are absolutely positioned and the direction property doesn’t do the job. The solution is something like combining the two settings. Both direction and float. So something like:

    .my-class {
      float:left;
    }
    becomes something like:

    .my-class {
      float:right;
      direction:rtl;
    }
    and of course if you’ve something like margin-left it should become margin-right!
