Hello TagDiv Support Team,
I am building a multilingual news website using the Newspaper theme with Polylang for language management. My site requires support for three languages: Arabic (RTL), French (LTR), English (LTR)
I have created a child theme and need guidance on the best practices for implementing proper RTL/LTR support to ensure the theme layout adapts correctly for each text direction.
Specific questions:
How can i have a header & a footer for each type ? when i update anything it updated for all the website ? and for single post template or category template i cannot change the direction for only rtl languages, how can i achieve that ?
Current Setup:
Newspaper Theme (latest version)
Polylang plugin (for language management)
Child theme active
Languages configured: Arabic (RTL), French (LTR), English (LTR)
Goal:
A seamless experience where the theme automatically adapts its layout and design when users switch between Arabic (RTL) and French/English (LTR), while maintaining the same visual design across all languages.
Any documentation, code snippets, or best practices you can share would be greatly appreciated. If there are specific hooks, filters, or CSS classes I should be aware of, please let me know.
Thank you for your support!
Best regards,
Hi,
I understand what you want to achieve. Unfortunately, we haven’t tested the Polylang plugin with our theme, so we cannot provide a solution or guarantee compatibility for it.
Our theme is normally tested with WPML, which allows you to create different Cloud Templates for each language (check if the Polylang plugin provides this option). For example:
When you select Arabic, you can use and edit a template in RTL.
When you select French, it can be a completely different template.
For more details on how to use WPML with our theme and set up templates for multiple languages, please check this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/using-theme-translations-together-wpml/
