Right to Left examples

Hi, Welcome!

All the Right-To-Left Language conversion happens behind the scenes.

Usually, if you just place an arabic text inside a TextMesh or a label, Unity will not display it correctly.

The I2 Localization, knows which languages need to be fixed (there is a list of those in LocalizationManager.LanguagesRTL)

When the plugin updates a label text, it also parses the text and modifies it into a new one that is displayed correctly by Unity.

In case you want to disable that feature for some labels, there is a toggle in the Localize component that skips that (Ignore Right To Left Languages).

The plugin is also capable of modifying the localized text for some labels. It has predefined options to make it Upper Case or Lower case. So that you don't have to duplicate the localization just to make a Title in Uppercase.

Also, there are callbacks that you can register to modify the text with your custom script. That will allow you to insert numbers an other string by using the localized text as a guide.

Please, Let me know if you need me to further explain any of those features.

Hi,
The current RTL language support only renders the text in the correct order, but they are still rendered using the alignment set on the label (NGUI, age, etc.) so that the text doesn't move into an unwanted location.

When the plugin detects an RTL language, it automatically changes the text so that they get rendered properly. So it fixes the text as shown in the next image. I just doesn't change the left or right alignment of the label.



However, is a good idea to allow the plugin to also adjust the alignment while still allowing to disable that feature for specific texts that you want to get centered or on specific places. I will include that as a new feature.

Thanks for the idea and keep it coming
