Problem:
The client is trying to add the

dir="rtl"

attribute to pages translated into Dari on their website. While pages in Arabic correctly have this attribute, the Dari pages do not.
Solution:
First, ensure that Dari is recognized as an RTL language in your WordPress setup. Since Dari is not a built-in language in WPML or WordPress, you need to manually configure it. You can map Dari to Arabic in WPML to inherit the RTL attributes. This can be done under WPML -> Languages -> Site Languages -> Edit languages. For more details, visit Editing WPML's Languages Table.

Additionally, check your theme's compatibility with RTL languages and ensure it supports RTL styling. For guidance on building RTL WordPress themes, refer to Building RTL WordPress Themes and the WordPress Codex at Right-to-Left Language Support.

If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, we recommend opening a new support ticket.
