   Im trying to implement a web site in 2 languages French and Arabic. The French(LTR) content is different from te Arabic(RTL) content(it's not a side by side translation). I use a plug-in (langSwich) to switch between the 2 languages. I have localized my theme. but I have problem to switch from RTL and LTR. Haw cane I do this? I wonder if it's better to use the multi-site in wordpress to implement 2 different sites?

   You may need WPML (WordPress MultiLanguage) to pull that off.

   Where did you put the file? I think it belongs in your theme folder.

   I've put it in theme folder with style.css. I use wordpress 3 English. I tried to add this in functions.php of the theme:
   

   $local=get_locale();
   if($locale){
   $wp_locale= new WP_Locale;
   $wp_locale->text_direction="rtl";
   }

   it work but I wonder if there is a better method for lang switching?`
