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. -- Please read https://www.wxwidgets.org/support/mlhowto.htm before posting. --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "wx-users" group.
