There are several places where a phone number appears reversed in the Arabic translation. We've been told by our translator, that phone numbers should appear in the same direction as in English. The phone number is entered the correct way around, but the software (I don't know if it's WPML or where it's coming from) reverses it. Other parts like the address and email are not reversed. I'm very confused. I have had to use css to try and change it back to ltr and even typed the number backwards to get around the issue. Please tell me there's an easier way around this!
Thanks in advance, for any help.
WPML doesn't have anything to do with how the text is showing in front. This is controlled by your theme CSS, you can simply confirm this by disabling WPML and switching your WordPress language to Arabic. The same issue would happen.
I advise contacting the theme author and checking with them, if there is a way for them to detect numbers and set correct CSS for that, otherwise I think best way is correcting it via some manual CSS
Hope this helps.
