right to left language are a problem

    hi,
    i have a problem when i select a lang like hebrew, witch is he_IL code,

    if i insert such language, all the structure of the theme is alterated,
    everything from left moves to riht,

    the way i can solve it is to just dont use he_IL, that means put anything else
    like “he” and then it all works normally, however some plugins i have
    cannot be translated since the text they return is based on the language detected
    by that code in wordpress, that means i am not able to translate the text of a plugin, since is text embeded in the plugin itself.

    if i use he_IL in the more-lang plugin, then the text of the plugin its auto translated, however all the website design is just messup,

    anyway to solve this? that means, keep using he_IL but avoid wordpress to alter the theme when a language thats wrote from right to left is used

    thanks

  • Hi Spala:
    I don’t quite get your point.
    To be honest, currently I’m not very familiar with the structure of a rtl web page. IMHO, “everything from left moves to right” is an expected behavior for a rtl web page.
    No matter what is expected, the rtl behavior is not controlled by the More-Lang plugin, it’s controlled by WordPress and your theme. For example, an installation on my computer is like this:

    <!DOCTYPE html>
<html dir="rtl" lang="he-IL" class="no-js no-svg">
...
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://localhost:8080/wp-content/themes/twentyseventeen/rtl.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
...
<body class="rtl home blog hfeed has-header-image has-sidebar colors-light">
...

    “rtl.css”(which is provided by the “twentyseventeen” theme) defines the rtl behavior. I think you can check if your theme provides a similar css file, if so, try to modify it as expected.
    Thanks for your participation!

    yes you are right, expected or not, its a normal wordpress behaviour, not something controlled by the pluging, thats why i had the same result with another old translation plugin,

    so we can say there is nothing to touch on more-lang,

    maybe you can think about add the auto-translation feature, this will highly reduce the time it takes to fulfill the translation tabs, ??

    thanks

    The auto-translation feature is not urgent to me, so I mark the issue as resolved. If you do need the auto-translation feature, please pay attention to the later versions. Thanks!

    yeah no problem,

    thanks for this awesome plugin, it works amazing, is the best one i tested

    let me add something:

    When using a right to left language, the flag is touching the languages list in the plugin, since it has margin-right but not margin left, i did add it manually, but its something easy to add for next versions,

    would be cool if possible to keep the language tab selected after edit and save a page,

    that means, i have Spanish and English

    i edit the english tab… i save, and as soon as i save, the loading language by defult is Spanish, and sometimes i do changes in the wrong translating page,
    i must keep in mind to change tab again after save the changes, if i need make more changes,

    keep up the good work,

    Good suggestions, Thanks! The language selection state keeping feature was considered before, both it and the rtl margin issue will be handled in the coming versions.

    Hi Spala:
    FYI, the RTL languages support & the recovery function of previous language selection features were implemented in 1.6.0. (the RTL language config is in “more options”)
    Regards!

    in hte plugins area, the tabs are not remembered,
    but it works on post/pages ??

    Could you tell me which the plugins are? Maybe it’s because the plugins use async-loading, I will fix similar issue in the next release.

    the Personalized HTML Widget
    i think its by default on all wordpress

    Yes, the Personalized HTML Widget is not a plugin. The issue was resolved in 1.6.1(as well as several similar async-widgets)
