Configuring Themes for Right-to-Left (RTL) Languages

Use

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.

  5. In the Web Module Details section, choose Save .

When you create a theme, both the LTR and RTL stylesheets are now generated.
