<p>As you may know the Arabic language is written from right to left in reverse of Latin and Cyrillic languages and in the web that means you must change the look of the page for that subset of users coming to your site.</p>
<p>One of the main problems are with web forms. Usually we use something like label:input pairs:</p>
<pre lang="html">label: <input type="text" />
</pre>
<p>but when it comes to Arabic version it should be turned into:</p>
<pre lang="html"><input type="text" /> : label
</pre>
<p>and that&#8217;s quite tricky!</p>
<h2>The easiest way for me!</h2>
<p>Well I simply wrap that chunk of code into a table. That helps me manage the direction with the CSS direction:rtl like so:</p>
<pre lang="html" line="1">
<table>
 <tr>
  <td>Label:</td>
  <td><input type="text" /></td>
 </tr>
</table>
</pre>
<p>When it comes to the Arabic version it can be translated with the simple:</p>
<pre lang="html" line="1">
<table style="direction:rtl;">
 <tr>
  <td>Label:</td>
  <td><input type="text" /></td>
 </tr>
</table>
</pre>
