Languages are divided into the direction in which the script is written and read. Languages written and read from left to right are called LTR (left-to-right) languages. Languages where the script is written and read from right to left are RTL (right-to-left) languages. Staffbase supports both LTR and RTL languages in order to provide your users with the best experience.

RTL languages that are supported in the App and Intranet:

• Arabic
• Hebrew
• Urdu
• Pasthu / Pushtu
• Persian

When a user switches from an LTR language to RTL language, the user interface is mirrored. This means not only is the text mirrored, but the general layout and icons also align with RTL conventions.

• Certain plugins
  RTL support is not yet fully extended to plugins, such as:
  
  • Maps 
  • Launchpad
