The RTL setting in RD only affects the flow in the text editor (that I know of).

For your published pages you need to use css,

div
{
direction:rtl;
}

You don't actually have to transform the position of the letters as the Arabic 
gets typed in that way in CMS.

Subject: Re: Working with reddot for arabic language variants

Hi Chris,

i would like to explain the problem that I am facing.

As we all aware that Arabic language needs  to be read from right to
left. For example, lets say that we need to display " This site is
developed using Reddot CMS". This should be displayed in the reverse
so that arabic people read from right to left. like          "SMC
toddeR gnisu depoleved si etis sihT". and also if the english text is
left aligned then the arabic text should be right aligned.

This is what i wanted to do for my site. Could you please guide me how
to work with arabic languauge variant. what are all the settings we
need to do? is there any document we can refer to etc.

Thanks
Mani
