Hi,

I would like to make Magento in Arabic, but the problem is that Arabic is Right to Left language.
So how can I change all of these things??

Thank you....

hello sahaf525,

I’d start by taking advantage of the HTML tag’s ‘dir’ attribute and just insert <html lang="ar" dir="rtl"> in the according place within all the templates in template/page/ directory where the skeleton templates are called. A good reference for this is: http://tlt.psu.edu/suggestions/international/web/tips/align.html

@ ohminu
to edit the files only in the main path “"app\design\frontend\default\default\template\page"”? or also the deeper folders (html, switch and template)? i’m asking because inside the deeper folder i dont see the HTML Tags.

and another question. what you mean when you say “skeleton”?

Thank you
