How to Handle Application when local is set to Arabic "ar-AE"
Question
Application Type
Reactive
Service Studio Version
11.53.43 (Build 62091)

Hello All


I have an application which i am translating in Arabic language using "ar-AE" local. Now  when i am trying to access the application with same local application is looking somewhat weired.  I know that the problem is related to rtl and ltr. But i don't know how to implement it correctly.


Please let me know how can i implement that rtl property for "ar-AE" local.


Thanks

Hi Sanjay,

Please refer to this documentation

You have to set the locale to Arabic, using SetCurrentLocale action which is available in System Module.

Take dependency from System Module, then if you have button to change the locale, just call the SetCurrentLocale action inside it and pass the locale as 'ar-AE' or call the SetCurrentLocale action in OnApplicationReady System Event which will be available inside Client Actions Folder right click options. This will set rtl property.

Thanks

I know what you explained and already implemented it. Problem is when i am setting locale as "ar-AE" Arabic, the application look is changing from right to left. And that i have to change.

Do you mean you want to stay in LTR even when the locale is 'ar-AE' and the content is in Arabic?

@Sanjay Bankar  Changing language to Arabic will change the page behavior from right to left which is default behavior of Outsystems as per the selected language writing style. If you want to change the language to Arabic without changing the page (RTL and not the suitable option) and required lots of work.

It seems that you worried about the design when the user select language as Arabic. In this case you need designer's help to resolve design and styles issues.  These types of issues appeared in case when you use the inline css with control which is not appreciated by the Outsystems as well.


Hope it will help
