Hello all,

My WXWidgets application is translated in 7 languages currently, so 
everything regarding translation is already put in place and working great.

Today, someone asked me if he could translate my application in Arabic, 
and I must admit that I don't know at all if it's possible, or difficult.

Given that Arabic is written from right to left, do I have to do 
something special in the code to support that ?
I assume that everything should be more or less reversed on the screen ? 
Texts aligned left should be aligned right ? Scrollbars should be on the 
left instead of on the right ? etc.

Does Windows and/or WXWidgets do all that automatically for me, or do I 
need to handle it manually ? What should I do specifically ?

Of course I don't want to change anything in my own Windows 
configuration, since I don't speak Arabic at all and don't intent to.

I'm on Windows 10 or 11, WXWidgets 3.3.

Thank you for your answers.
