Any member has done an Arabic site before to read the Teamsite content from right-to-left ?

What need to be changed to enable the content to read from right-to-left ?

Thanks.

We maintain multilingual sites including RTLs. Note however that we have a complete control over our
Front End - something that can no longer be taken for granted within Site Publisher / LiveSite Model.
So, if you use LiveSite contact Support for guidance.

The following gives a gist of what we do with the Forms Publisher:
- All styling is done through CSS. Only Class and some Tag Selectors are allowed.

- Templates are "Language-Neutral", all styling generates with identically named classes.
There are (very) few exceptions to this rule but that's details.

- Front-End Application validates "RTL Language" Flag upon request and renders Http Response
that links either LTR or RTL External Style Sheets. Once again, Classes names are identical.
Styling Attributes for identically named Classes may differ for the RTL (margin, float, input
direction - hope you've got the picture)

To get a feel for this stuff you may want to take your current CSS and convert it to RTL using
some CSS RTL Convertor like CSSJanus or similar.
