Right-to-left text direction support in Foundation allows you to easily switch text direction for all components.

Setup

Foundation 4 was built to support right-to-left text direction out of the box, but you'll need to make a couple of adjustments to your markup and SCSS to get everything up and running.

Markup Changes for Right-to-Left Layouts

You'll need to make a few changes to your markup to get the javascript components working nice and smooth. In the html tag, you'll need to add a dir attribute with a value of rtl. Here's what your html tag should look like:

<%= code_example ' ', :html %>

Change the Language Too

You'll need to change your lang attribute value to match your language. Here's a handy list of common right-to-left languages and their html codes:

• Arabic: ar
• Chinese: zh
• Farsi: fa
• Hebrew: he, iw
• Japanese: ja
• Urdu: ur
• Yiddish: yi, ji

A Single SCSS Adjustment

We made it really easy to switch the entire Foundation grid to right-to-left by changing the $text-direction SCSS variable. Here's what the variable should look like:

<%= code_example ' $text-direction: rtl; ', :css %>

By changing this single variable, the entire grid and all the Foundation components will be switched to right-to-left orientation.
