Check your theme’s RTL (right-to-left) support

First things first, make sure your WordPress theme has built-in RTL support.

This feature allows the theme to handle languages like Arabic written from right to left seamlessly.

To verify if your theme supports RTL, visit the documentation or the developer’s website.

If it does not, consider switching to a theme that does, or you can try the next step.

Install the ‘RTL Tester plugin

To help identify any RTL issues, you can install the ‘RTL Tester plugin from the WordPress plugin repository.

This nifty tool lets you switch your site’s direction to RTL with just a click.

Then, test your website and see if the Arabic language displays correctly.

Use the ‘WPML’ plugin for multilingual websites

Consider using the ‘WPML’ (WordPress Multilingual) plugin if your website is multilingual.

This plugin manages the translations and language directions for you.

In addition, it ensures that your Arabic content is displayed accurately and beautifully on both desktop and mobile devices.

Customize your CSS for better Arabic language display

In some cases, you may need to tweak your theme’s CSS to enhance the display of the Arabic language on mobile devices.

Add custom CSS code to target specific elements, such as font size, line height, and text alignment.

Here is a basic example:

/* Custom CSS for Arabic language on mobile */
@media screen and (max-width: 768px) {
  :dir(rtl) body {
    font-size: 16px;
    line-height: 1.5;
    text-align: right;
  }
}

Add this code to your theme’s ‘Additional CSS’ section or use a custom CSS plugin.

Optimize your images and graphics for RTL languages

Remember to pay attention to your visual content!

Make sure your images and graphics are optimized for RTL languages.

For example, you might need to create separate versions of your graphics specifically designed for right-to-left languages.
