Right-to-left languages

1 min readUpdated November 9, 2026

These languages are written right to left: Arabic (ar), Hebrew (he), Persian (fa), Urdu (ur), Pashto (ps), Sindhi (sd), Uyghur (ug) and Yiddish (yi).

The plugin handles them for you:

  • In the switcher, each language name is written in its own direction, so “ุงู„ุนุฑุจูŠุฉ” and “Arabic” line up correctly even on an English page.
  • On a right-to-left page, the language window, the grid and the dropdown are mirrored.
  • The suggestion banner follows the language it offers: a banner offering Arabic is right to left, even on an English page.
The language window on an Arabic page, mirrored right to left, with ุงู„ุนุฑุจูŠุฉ highlighted as the current language

You do not need any setting for this.
