Q: Right-to-Left (RTL) languages Support!
1. I have tested all available website translation plugins and services. I finally found the best plugin called TranslatePress: https://translatepress.com, which works flawlessly, translating the site from English to Arabic and vice versa. Can the MultiLipi platform be a real alternative tool to the TranslatePress plugin?
2. Most of my global business customers are from the Middle East and Africa, and the Arabic language is critical for my online business. Does the MultiLipi platform support Right-to-Left (RTL) languages such as Arabic? If yes, please provide me with sample demo websites that use the MultiLipi platform for both the English & Arabic languages. I need to test both languages on a live website.
3. Will the MultiLipi platform affect the speed of my corporate website?
Thank you & looking forward to hearing from you 🙏

Al-EzziPLUSFor the MultiLipi platform to truly support RTL languages, the platform should be able to do text direction and text alignment of buttons, questions, and paragraphs. This is important because RTL languages read and write every HTML design element in reverse order, so when icons or arrows are on the left-hand side of the screen for the LTR, it would be in the reverse direction for the RTL.
You’re absolutely right—RTL support involves more than just translation.
✅ Currently, MultiLipi supports basic RTL text direction for languages like Arabic.
✨ We’re working on enhancing this with:
• Dynamic text alignment
• UI element adjustments (icons, arrows, etc.)
• Full HTML structure reversal for proper RTL display
These improvements will be part of our upcoming updates.
Al-EzziPLUSI had high hopes for full support of RTL languages, but thankfully, I did not purchase this expensive platform. Many founders have promised RTL support, yet most have failed to deliver. Moving forward, I will avoid buying any platforms that do not fully support RTL languages at launch.

Hello Kunal
A month after your last post, I would like to know how you are progressing with the dynamic text alignment, UI element adjustments, and HTML structure reversal for proper RTL display.
Thank you

Could you answer, please?
Hi,
Really sorry for the delay — we’ve had a high volume of feature requests recently, but I want to assure you that RTL improvements (text alignment, UI adjustments, and HTML structure reversal) are definitely on our bucket list.
We’re aiming to implement this within the next 2–3 weeks, and I’ll keep you posted as soon as we make progress.

Hello Kauna
The 2-3 weeks you announced will be over in a day or two. How is the work on RTL progressing?
I’m really sorry, but we won’t be able to implement the RTL support just yet due to the complexity of the solution. We’re working on improving the platform and will keep you updated with any progress. Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Hello
I opened one of the sites you gave in a comment to show examples of sites using Multilipi to get the Arabic translation (ar dot amazingcv dot net. Arabic texts there showed LTR. I opened "Inspect" under the Developer Tools of the browser and added in the CSS : direction: rtl

.e-con.e-flex {
--flex-direction: column;
--flex-basis: auto;
--flex-grow: 0;
--flex-shrink: 1;
flex: var(--flex-grow) var(--flex-shrink) var(--flex-basis);
direction: rtl;
