Supporting the Arabic Content online by supporting its direction(RTL) on the web..

WordPress Plugin: The RTLer

WordPress has this very easy and straight forward logic when it comes to RTLing themes. It simply checks for the direction of the language you're using in your WP installation, if it happens to be 'rtl'(Arabic for example) it includes the stylesheet rtl.css if it exists. This means that RTLing a WP theme is creating this rtl.css file. A detailed tutorial is coming up soon about RTLing WP themes

RTLing jCarousel (jQuery Plugin)

 jCarousel is a beautiful jQuery plugin. Personally it's one of my favorites! You can set up your caoursel up and running in just one line or two. Even theming it is easy. According to the project's page:

jCarousel is a jQuery plugin for controlling a list of items in horizontal or vertical order. The items, which can be static HTML content or loaded with (or without) AJAX, can be scrolled back and forth (with or without animation).

The only thing missing in this wonderful plugin is the RTL support. And in this tutorial, it won't miss it anymore.

RTLing GD Star Rating Plugin (WP) - Part 2: Fixing Different Icon sizes

When we RTLed the GD Star Rating Wordpress Plugin, we only added support for the default size of the icons(which is the 24px). In this quick and short post, we'll add support to the rest of the sizes so far: 12px, 16px, 20px, 30px and 48px. And since it's a small post, I'll show you how it's RTLed.

RTLing Superfish Menu (jQuery Plugin)

Thank you Rami for the suggestion.

Superfish is a very famous jQuery plugin that allows you to add eye-catching effects to dropdown menus (<ul>). It works perfectly in major browsers (including IE6 with some style limitations) too. Well in RTL..it's just not there..so we're going to RTL this one.

3 Different Ways to RTL your CSS

Tags:

There are three major ways I prefer to use when RTLing a webpage. Each one has its own pros and cons. They are actually the same..flipping CSS properties and rules is the same procedure in all ways. What's different is where and how are we flipping them.

RTLing GD Star Rating Plugin (WP) (UPDATED)

GD Star Rating is a WordPress plugin that allows your blog readers to rate your posts and pages. It is extremely flexible when it comes to appearance and language support*. Graphics and text are controllable via the plugin dahsboard. Even in RTL, the rating block is properly aligned (not 100%).

RTLing Twitter's Widget

The Twitter updates widget is maybe the most popular widget you can find on blogs. You can get yours from your settings page or by going to the goodies page and choosing widgets. Customizing it is super easy, you get to choose the colors, width and style of the widget itself. The direction though is always LTR. The good thing about the twitter is that it doesn't break in the RTL pages and it looks just fine. But to tweeples who tweet mostly in RTL languages (Like Arabic), it kind of doesn't fit in the RTL content of the whole page. Therefore, it's nice to see it flipped to go with the flow of their RTL page and tweets (what we are going to do now).

Thank You

Can't express our happiness about the reaction we've been getting so far. Getting feedback and links to blogs that have been RTLed with the help of the tutorials posted here was just more than amazing *if you could just see the smile on my face right now*.
