BuddyBoss App Right-to-Left (RTL) Language Support

The BuddyBoss App Right-to-Left (RTL) Language Support allows you to provide a natural app experience for members who use RTL languages such as Arabic and Hebrew. When an RTL language is configured, the app interface adjusts its direction so text, menus, icons, navigation elements, and supported layouts flow from right to left.

You can also translate BuddyBoss App text strings into your preferred RTL language to create a more consistent localized experience for your members.

This guide explains how to translate app text strings, switch your WordPress site to an RTL language, and preview the RTL layout in the BuddyBoss App.

Translating App Text Strings

1. In your WordPress Dashboard, go to BuddyBoss App > Translations.
   
2. Use the search bar to find a string (e.g., Remove Connection).
   
3. In the translation field next to the original text, paste your RTL translation (e.g., the Arabic equivalent).
   
4. Click Save Changes.
   
5. Repeat for other strings (e.g., Unfollow, Send Message).
   

Switching Your Site to an RTL Language

1. In WordPress, navigate to Settings > General.
   
2. Under Site Language, select your RTL language (e.g., العربية for Arabic).
   
3. Click Save Changes.
   
4. Confirm the WordPress admin and your BuddyBoss Theme now display in RTL format.
   

Previewing RTL in the App

1. Force-close the BuddyBoss App on your device to clear its cache.
   
2. Reopen the app; you’ll see the tab bar and header bar icons reordered from right to left.
   
3. Browse to any translated menu (e.g., Members) and open the three-dot menu to verify your RTL translations display correctly.
   
4. Navigate through screens, animations, back arrows, and content should all flow RTL.
