Wix Multilingual: Creating a Multilingual Site with Right-to-Left Content

Wix Multilingual detects and auto-aligns your site when you auto-translate your site. So, your text aligns to the right and the direction changes to right-to-left. These steps also apply to text elements that are attached to elements such as strips, repeaters, slideshows and boxes.

1. Select the relevant text element on your page.

2. Click Edit Translation.

3. Adjust the direction and alignment by clicking the Alignment icon

   

   and the Change text direction icon

   

   .

Reorder the icons on your social bar to best suit each language. For example, prioritize an icon for a social network popular in a specific country by placing it first.

1. Select your social bar.

2. Click Edit Translation.

3. Drag and drop the icons to re-order them and click Done.

Using the Wix Photo Studio, you can also change the direction of individual images to be right-to-left by flipping the original image. The process of changing the image direction is the same for all single-image elements on your site.

1. Select the relevant image on your page.

2. Click Edit Translation.

3. Click Adjust to open the Wix Photo Studio.

4. Click Crop & Resize.

5. Click the Flip Horizontally icon

   

   .

6. Click Save.

To change a gallery's image order on your site's right-to-left version, manually reorder the images.

1. Select the relevant gallery on your page.

2. Click Edit Translation.

3. Drag and drop images to reorder them.

4. Click Save.

If you have a few videos displayed in a row you can change their order on your site's right-to-left version, manually replace each video in every language. For example, reorder videos from 1-2-3 in LTR to 3-2-1 in RTL.

1. Click the Single Video Player element on your page.

2. Click Edit Translation.

3. Click Change Video and decide what you want to do:

   • Add / upload from the Media Manager: Click Change Video to add a video from Wix Media or upload your own.

   • Select a video from a social network: Click the relevant social network icon and enter the video's web address.

4. Click Save.

With some Wix applications (e.g. Stores), the writing direction applies to all languages. We recommend selecting a centered text alignment if you have both RTL and LTR languages in your site.
