# Using right-to-left languages

 * I am using the **Directional** plugin as installed with TinyMCE / WordPress:
 * [https://www.tiny.cloud/docs/plugins/directionality/](https://www.tiny.cloud/docs/plugins/directionality/)
 * If I have some Arabic text, and when I am in the editor the text shows right 
   aligned (even though my text alignment is still left).
 * But when I submit my topic or reply the text (whilst still in the right-to-left
   direction) is now left aligned on the display.
 * To get the display to display correctly I have to:
 * – Use right-to-left direction
 * – Use text align right
 * I understand that my topic is a mixture of English and Arabic but i thought wherever
   the plugin content is enabled that it would sort it out.
 * Just wondered if this is a bbpress style pack css matter since I am using your
   style.
 * Thanks.

 * style pack would not change rtl, but would not prevent it I think.
 * I Can’t be sure, but suggest as a test you deactivate (you won’t lose settings)
   and see.
 * bbpress will take rtl from the language set in WordPress, so if this is English
   then bbpress won’t change the way round.

 * OK. I will try on the staging site. It was just funny that TinyMCE internally
   was displaying the rtl text on the right so I expected the same in the underlying
   post.
 * Will investigate.
