4.14.1 Specific Issues Related to RTL

Unfortunately, the https://www.gnu.org website does not have excellent support for languages using right-to-left scripts, although best efforts are made. If your language is in this category, make sure to:

• Set the attribute dir="rtl" in the html element at server/header.lang.html.
• You must include an additional CSS, style.rtl.css, to override some of the pre-defined values. See template files for Arabic and Farsi to understand how these two languages solve some of the problems. See How to Use Custom CSS.

Important: Some articles contain their own <style> redefinitions, or style attributes in the form <p style="…">. In such situations, it is quite possible that the general language-specific CSS does not help, and the translation of this specific article does not look correct. Please write to webmasters@gnu.org; if you have a working solution that works for both cases—so much the better. For general issues that affect your language and require a general solution, write to webmasters@gnu.org as well, precisely describing the problem.
