Right to left writing option

  • Unknown's avatar

    I want to use my blog in an Arabic form, the right to left option doesn’t work well cause the full stops are always in the wrong side, also, I can’t see a justify option for the Arabic text.
    Blog url: http://rolayousef.wordpress.com/

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Have you set up your interface language ehere > Settings > General ?

    That was quick fix! Thanks, however I still don’t see a justify option for the text, not like in my English blog…

    I’m sorry about that. I have flagged this thread so it’s moved to the Translations Forum where that deficiency can be brought to Staff attention.

    Sorry to bother you again, but it seems that the language change affects both my blogs, the main English one which I wanted to keep its language and the second one which I wanted to change to Arabic…

    @rolayousef: under Settings > General, you can set the language per blog. E.g. you can set it as “Arabic” for your Arabic blog, and your readers will see the elements of the theme translated into Arabic (where available), and you can set it as “English” for your English blog, and the homepage elements (e.g. dates, text such as “posted on”, “posted by”, etc.) will appear in English.

    Separately, you can change the language of WordPress.com interface, e.g. if you want to see the Dashboard options in Arabic, you can choose “Arabic” under Users > Personal Settings.

    Note, though, that WordPress.com is translated by volunteers, so many translations are a work in progress, so you may well see some strings still in English alongside the Arabic translations.
