Background of the issue:
Hi, we added a custom RTL language for Saudi Arabia. The text is displayed correctly in RTL mode, but the layout is not. I noticed that there isn't dir="rtl" attribute added to the HTML tag.

Symptoms:
The layout is not displaying correctly in RTL mode for the custom language.

Questions:
What should we do more to enable RTL mode to the layout?

Hi there,

WPML is fully compatible with RTL languages. While WPML allows you to translate into RTL or use RTL, the handling of RTL content is dependent on the theme's CSS.

Based on your description, it sounds like the theme might be missing RTL support.

Could you let me know which theme you are using and whether it is RTL compatible?
