Left to Right? No, the Other Way! Navigating RTL Language Design

(This event starts at 8am PST / 4pm CET. See the World Clock Meeting Planner to check your local time.)

In this webinar, we embark on an in-depth exploration of implementing Right-to-Left (RTL) language support, focusing on the intricacies involved in adapting applications for RTL languages such as Arabic and Hebrew.

Beyond merely adjusting text direction, this presentation dives into the comprehensive adjustments required in UI/UX design, including form and input fields, graphical elements, and ensuring numerical data is presented correctly.

By incorporating actual implementation examples across various platforms, attendees will gain a holistic understanding of the challenges and solutions associated with RTL design. We'll discuss the importance of cultural sensitivity, the technical nuances of mixed-language content, and how to avoid common pitfalls that developers encounter.

This session aims to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, providing developers with the tools and insights needed to create inclusive, user-friendly applications that cater to Arabic and Hebrew speaking users.

Through this talk, developers will be empowered to tackle RTL design with confidence, ensuring their applications are accessible and engaging for users across different language and cultural spectrums.
