Arabic translate

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
If you're experiencing issues with your website appearing broken on Arabic pages, it's likely due to the theme styling not being properly configured for RTL (Right-to-Left) languages.
Solution:
We recommend checking the RTL styles of your theme. Typically, websites use a

style.css

file for LTR (Left-to-Right) languages and a

style-rtl.css

file for RTL languages. If the

style-rtl.css

is not properly set up, it can cause display issues on RTL language pages. You should reach out to your theme developer to address this issue or consider using a theme that supports RTL languages.

If this solution doesn't look relevant to your issue, please open a new support ticket with us.

Shekhar Bhandari WPML Supporter since 03/2015 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Kathmandu (GMT+05:45)	Hello there, This is not a WPML issue rather than your theme styling issues, on other languages, the sites use LTR direction which is styled by using style.css, and in Arabic RTL direction is used and style-rtl.css is used. The RTL styles aren't created properly so it looks broken, please contact the theme developer to fix this or use a RTL supported theme. Let me know if this helps. Thanks

Javier	What I see is that with the Arabic language my website does not load the Tailwind library and that is why the website does not have styles. Doesn't it have anything to do with WPML?

Shekhar Bhandari WPML Supporter since 03/2015 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Kathmandu (GMT+05:45)	Hello there, As mentioned I don't think it's WPML issue, You can disable WPML and set the WordPress language to arabic to confirm this. Thanks
