Hi again

Sorry I didn’t reply earlier, I was really busy and then I got sick…

There is this cool video from Tom Scott which is about a bug in android relating RTL, but he does explain the basics of RTL, if someone is not familiar with RTL,

There is also this project called RTLCSS at https://rtlcss.com/
And How to build RTL WordPress themes – WPML https://wpml.org/documentation/theme-compatibility/build-rtl-wordpress-themes/
and How to enable Right-to-left (RTL) support in WordPress https://createandcode.com/how-to-enable-right-to-left-rtl-support-in-wordpress/
and Wikipedia at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-to-left_mark

editing the HTML don’t work as I expected (I thought I tried in the past and it didn’t work but this time it did, kind of)

Let me explain.

If I just write in the editor text without selecting align text to right, in the edit panel it shows up as I expect on the right, (see this image) but then if I send it, it comes out in the email aligned to the left, (see this image)

If I do select in the edit panel, align text to the right, (like this image) it does add the HTML code to align text to the right, (like in this image) and it does come out aligned to the right of the email, but it’s not actually aligned right to left, (see this image) you can see that the comma at the end of the test sentence switches around between the edit panel and the actual email received,

this turns it into a real problem when trying to write a mixed sentence with A RTL character and then a LTR character (like a comma or A link ETC)

Also I must add, Word press does support RTL And it is enabled in all the text that I wrote, (note this symbol) and I sent it like that, but it seems like the engine that processes the text before composing the email to send it, doesn’t recognize these Unicode symbols / removes them.

I got the Unicode mark for RTL from Wikipedia here

Thank you for all your help
Yehuda

P.S. I uploaded the updated translation to get hub, but doing it through the Word press.org project seems much better so I’ll try to do it there too

Hi eventualo and thanks for the quick response

So I tried what you mentioned, I basically went through one of the included themes Made a copy and changed all the lines that said text-align: left; To text-align: right;
And it did alien the text to the right

It does seem that some text is too much to the right I’ll see if I could figure it out
(I don’t really know how to code, I learn but guessing and commonsense)

Initially I followed the code on www.remarpro.com

text-aline: right;
Float: left;
Clear: right;

But That actually made some of the text align correctly and some not, I’m not sure why,
I think the headers and footers were not correct but the body was correct with the code above

Last question:
If I want to send out a newsletter in Hebrew (RTL) without any themes what file do I need to edit ?

Also I wanted to thank you for the great plug-in, I’ve been using it on a different site for about six years now, you created powerful but easy to use overall great newsletter plug-in,
I think it’s The best wordpress newsletter plug-in out there. (and I did test other ones)

On a similar note
Since I was at it I updated the Hebrew translation files and uploaded them to the plug-in project on gethub
I never did something like this before so I’m not sure If I did it correctly
