Change Direction of Text (Right to Left) Tutorial


Available to All Account Levels.

As some languages are written right-to-left, it is helpful to be able to reorient the entire survey theme to be right-to-left. This is applicable to many languages including Arabic, Hebrew, and Urdu (just to name a few!).

  1. Go to the Project tab-->Create & Edit--> Text/Translations.
  2. In the appropriate language, click on "This is a Right-to-Left Language" in the top left of the page. When you select a language that is generally right-to-left, the box is checked by default.


Previous versions of SurveyGizmo required CSS changes to force right-to-left. These changes are no longer necessary.
