Right-to-left languages, such as Hebrew and Arabic, require different stylesheets and images than the left-to-right (LTR) languages.
Creating stylesheets for both LTR and RTL languages is a time-consuming process, so when you create a new theme, only the stylesheets for the LTR languages are generated by default. You configure the generation of stylesheets in SAP NetWeaver Administrator.
Stylesheets for RTL languages can only be generated for the Unified Rendering stylesheets of a theme part.
iViews on a page can only be displayed with a mixture of RTL and LTR stylesheets if an iView is isolated on a page. In addition, the iView property Forced Request Languages overwrites the personalized portal language that was set. This property has an effect on the stylesheets that are generated for the overall page.
