Right-to-Left (RTL) Configuration for a UAE-based Website

Our team successfully configured a Shopify store in the UAE to support Arabic language and right-to-left (RTL) text direction.

To accomplish this, we utilized the "Shopify Translate & Adapt" app to add Arabic translations throughout the entire website. This app automatically adjusted all text to accommodate RTL, ensuring correct display. For pages where RTL functionality wasn't automatically applied, and where widget elements (header, footer, product pages, etc.) needed directional adjustments, we implemented custom code to modify element directions within these widgets. Additionally, we manually translated the Arabic language within the "Hukify: Mega Menu" app and collaborated with their support team to enable RTL display for menu items.
