Hello Dears,

I want to use discourse for an Arabic platform. and I want to the interface of discourse to be displayed right to left.

Is there any plugin or code I need to do this?

I appreciate your answers.

I think you just need to change your locale to a RTL language and it magically swops everything over. 👍 🪄

The setting @Heliosurge mentions enables a button in your composer format bar that allows individual posts to be either LTR or RTL.

I am not inquiring about the text, I am inquiring about the interface itself to be RTL.
