Function documentationPortal Themes and Right-to-Left (RTL) Languages Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

Right-to-left languages, such as Hebrew and Arabic, require different stylesheets and images than the left-to-right languages (LTR).

Due to the fact that generating stylesheets for RTL languages takes some time, when you create a new theme, only the stylesheets for the LTR languages are generated in the standard setting. You configure the generation of stylesheets in NetWeaver Administrator.

Features

The following functions are provided:

  • Configuring Right-to-Left Languages

  • Uploading Images for Right-to-Left Languages

    Caution Caution

    Stylesheets for RTL languages can only be generated for the Unified Rendering stylesheets of a theme part.

    End of the caution.

    Caution Caution

    iViews on a page can be displayed with either RTL or LTR stylesheets only. A mixed display only works 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.

    End of the caution.
