rabeeK	Background of the issue: I am trying to add the Syriac language to my website, which should display in RTL direction like Arabic. I accessed WPML > Languages > Site Languages > Edit Languages > Languages Mapping, and the settings appear correct. Symptoms: The Syriac language is displaying in the wrong direction (LTR) instead of the expected RTL. Questions: Why is the Syriac language displaying in LTR instead of RTL? How can I fix the direction issue for the Syriac language?

Carlos Rojas WPML Supporter since 03/2017 Languages: English (English ) Spanish (Español ) Timezone: Europe/Madrid (GMT+02:00)	Hi there 🙂 My goal is to check if the Syriac language is set to be RTL in WPML -> String Translation. I have set your next message private again so you can share the access credentials securely.
