# Settings –> general –> Site Language

 * Hi,
    My issue occurred when I changed the following: Settings –> general –> Site
   Language I changed it from English (United states) to Arabic (a right to left)
   language. This ends up in changing both: 1- the site direction flipped from left
   to right. 2- the WordPress dashboard was changed to Arabic.
 * I want to keep the WordPress dashboard in the English Language but change the
   site direction from right to left so that the items in the header menu bar is
   right justified or from right to left direction. Is there a way to do this?
 * If this is not possible, then my interest will be in having the items on the 
   header menu to start from the right side of the site.
 * thanks

 * Yes. Visit Users->Your Profile. There, you will find a language setting. Change
   it from Site Default to whatever other language you like. This will only affect
   your view of the site in the admin area.
