Currency and footer menu RTL alignment

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

Problem:
The client is experiencing two issues on their Arabic language website: 1. The currency symbol displays Arabic symbols when the website is in English. 2. The footer menu items are not correctly aligned right-to-left (RTL) in Arabic; instead, they align left-to-right (LTR), and attempts to fix this with Elementor result in automatic reversion to English.
Solution:
We recommend using a child theme or an external plugin to implement changes that will persist through theme updates. This approach will help maintain the desired currency symbol and footer menu alignment across theme updates.

If this solution does not resolve your issues or seems outdated, please check the related known issues and ensure you have the latest versions of themes and plugins installed. If problems persist, we encourage you to open a new support ticket.

emirates-literatureF	Background of the issue: I am almost done and ready to go live with my website but I still have 2 issues in the Arabic language. The issues can be seen on this page: hidden link Symptoms: 1. Currency symbol shows Arabic symbols when the website is in English. 2. Footer menu items alignment is wrong in Arabic; it’s not RTL but LTR. I tried to fix it with Elementor but it’s automatically transforming to English. Screenshot: hidden link Questions: How can we fix the currency symbol to show AED in English and د.إ in Arabic? How can we fix the footer menu alignment to be properly RTL in Arabic?
