Overview
Do you write posts in different languages that have different directions?
This plugin enables a feature in the post editor which allow writing texts in Left-to-Right and Right-to-Left directions in the same post (or page) so you can write in English (and any other LTR language) and also RTL languages like Arabic, Persian and Hebrew.
Simply look for the new buttons added to the post editor after installing the plugin. (See the screenshots for better understanding)
اضافة زرارين لشريط التحرير لتمكين تحويل النص للقراءة من اليمين لليسار مثل اللغة العربية والفارسية والعبرية
- Note: This plugin will not change the direction of the post title, since that is controlled by the theme.
