RTL support

Etheryx recognizes RTL languages automatically and has been adapted to work with RTL languages to some extent.

IMPORTANT

However, we cannot guarantee full compatibility or that everything will display properly in RTL. Additional code changes may be needed from a third-party developer.

WARNING

We do not provide technical support for any problems that may be encountered in RTL languages.

We welcome feedback on RTL language functionality in order to improve support in future updates. However, full RTL support is not guaranteed or part of our official roadmap at this time. Use RTL languages at your own risk.
