Right to left language site (dir="rtl" attribute)

Hi all,

I have a requirement to create Right to Left language site (Arabic). Just wondering which is the best location to add dir="rtl" attribute ? Is it the beginning <html> tag (<html dir="rtl">) or should I add this tag in each component <div> (<div dir="rtl">). Is there any harm in adding it at page <html> level rather than individual component level. If a site is in Right To Left then all the section of site should be "Right to Left" - correct ? So in this case then it make sense to add at <html> tag level instead of individual component level.

Let me know if you have any prior experience on this ?

It is not only html tag, you might have to consider other assets like css, dialogs, rich text editor when using rtl.

Following adobe blog provides check list for using rtl

Hi Mshajiahmed, thanks for the article, helpful to learn from it. But what my question is that I already have created an arabic legal translation company complete website in English and at the beginning, I did not have any idea that i would need to convert it into some other language.

Now if i am going to update the complete CSS/HTML, it could be long work. Is there any short way to do this?
