Gatsby: Support right-to-left text in gatsbyjs.org

Created on 20 Sep 2019  路  4Comments  路  Source: gatsbyjs/gatsby

Summary

Support right-to-left text so we can have translations in languages such as Arabic and Hebrew. We can use a library such as react-with-direction.

Motivation

Support for right-to-left text is needed for languages such as Arabic and Hebrew.

Implementation Notes

  • You can reference the implementation of RTL in https://he.reactjs.org and other RTL languages to get a sense of what changes are needed.
  • Make sure the Gatsby site still works correctly when switching between RTL and LTR (no stale styles)
  • Make sure the site is still accessible, and the component order still "flows" correctly
  • Since we haven't finished integrating the translation repos yet, the best way to test this is to present the English content on a RTL layout, and be able to switch it with a toggle that's currently set to false.
  • It's okay to just make changes related to components/pages we're going to translate first: anything related to Docs.

Non Latin slugs is also big issue in this same subject.
I really want on one of my projects (in hebrew) to use Gatsby, but this both issues (RTL & Slugs) made me switch to a different solution.

Hello, can I take this issue?
