Hi!
Polylang cannot help you with rtl.css. Everything’s on the theme side. If you don’t know how to do, I suggest that you choose a rtl ready theme.
For widget text, the easier is to add one widget per language and then use the languages filter (should be the last option of your widget).
HI,
Unfortunately i can’t change the actual theme, i’ll try the solution of conditional css within the header, maybe it’s the only solution.
(i suggeste it for the next update of the plugin it will be helpful for us )
For the widget text thx it solved my problem.
Other question im using the moodle course list widget, the title is translated well but not the form’s login, any suggestion or solution to translate those input elements ?
Thank you Chouby.

Hi!
If your theme is well written, you should have no need to modify your header, as Polylang will output correct language information in html (if your theme comes with relevant hooks).
So normally, if you add a rtl.css file in your theme, this file will be automatically loaded and used for rtl languages.
See: https://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Right-to-Left_Language_Support
HI Chouby,
I Tried that, but the file (rtl.css) is always loaded for both languages.
here is what i did :
i declared in functions.php
wp_enqueue_style(‘rtl’, CSSPATH . ‘rtl.css’);
i created the file rtl.css at css folder of the theme
(i tried also without declaration in functions.php, just created the rtl.css but didn’t loaded )
i missed something maybe ?
Thank you

Hi!
You don’t need to do that. Everything is managed by WordPress + Polylang. Just create your file rtl.css, put it in your theme directory and that’s all.
Morning,
I tried that, but the rtl.css didn’t loaded !
i found a solution to load it, i used condition with is_rtl()
if ( is_rtl() ) {
wp_enqueue_style(‘rtl’, CSSPATH . ‘rtl.css’);
}
Im still confused, how to do it on the right way ?
Thanks again Chouby

Where did you put your rtl.css file? From the function get_locale_stylesheet_uri() found in wp-includes/theme.php, I see that WordPress expects it in the root directory of your theme (where you already have your style.css). The filter ‘locale_stylesheet_uri’ allows you to change the location.
But if you found a working way, just keep it.
HI,
same directory as all others css.
here is the declaration for path
define(‘CSSPATH’, get_template_directory_uri() . “/css/”);
and
function load_js_scripts() {
if ( !is_admin() ) {
// CSS
wp_enqueue_style(‘general-styles’, CSSPATH . ‘style.css’);
wp_enqueue_style(‘superfish’, CSSPATH . ‘superfish.css’);
wp_enqueue_style(‘tweet’, CSSPATH . ‘jquery.tweet.css’);
wp_enqueue_style(‘flexslider’, CSSPATH . ‘flexslider.css’);
wp_enqueue_style(‘lofslider’, CSSPATH . ‘lof-slider.css’);
wp_enqueue_style(‘tip-twitter’, JSPATH . ‘poshytip-1.1/src/tip-twitter/tip-twitter.css’);
wp_enqueue_style(‘tip-twitter-yellow’, JSPATH . ‘poshytip-1.1/src/tip-yellowsimple/tip-yellowsimple.css’);
wp_enqueue_style(‘prettyPhoto’, JSPATH . ‘prettyPhoto/css/prettyPhoto.css’);
wp_enqueue_style(‘skin’, CSSPATH . ‘skin.css’);
wp_enqueue_style(‘lessframework’, CSSPATH . ‘lessframework.css’);
//code mine
if ( is_rtl() ) {
wp_enqueue_style(‘rtl’, CSSPATH . ‘rtl.css’);
}
}

Hi!
Yes. What you did is fine. But you can also put your rtl.css directly in the theme directory and not in the css directory. Thus it should work even without the code you added.
NB: You should do this in a child theme rather than modifying your theme.
HI,
Tried directly in the theme folder, and yes, works !
Chouby, my Thanks.
