Hi @heymargaux!

The simplest way to do it like your mock-up would be to use CSS margins:

```scss
.cooked {
    margin-left: 20%;
    margin-right: 20%;
}

```

However, it might be trickier if you want to do this only for posts using different languages.  
Can you be more specific?

There are multiple configurations possible, so you need to provide a bit more information.

- Are the users able to choose their own language interface (see the **allow user locale** admin setting)?

- Are there posts using Right-To-Left language and others that don’t on your forum?

Using an RTL interface adds `rtl` classes in several parts of the page, including the `<html>` tag and `<p>` tags inside posts, but not on the post’s parent container.

But the RTL interface has not much to do with a post language. I can use an RTL interface and write a post in French.

And there is no easy way to detect if a post is written in another language.

What is your use case exactly? The more info you provide (links to your forum maybe?), the best we can help you 🙂
