Power Portal in Arabic

[falutx]

Hello!

We are developing a Power Portal and we need to translate to Arabic. Currently Arabic is not in the list of supported languages, which makes it difficult.

Do you know if there are plans to support Arabic in Power Portals?

What workaround do we have to do it?

Thanks in advance!

hi @falutx you can add any other language to Dataverse and Portals, and then export and translate the content to Arabic.

I have a few projects that we need Irish translation, and we do the exact same thing because the language is not available.

A while ago I did a presentation on multi-lingual portal, hope it helps: https://www.xrmvirtual.com/event-details/?id=0fa5d48b-afaa-4bdb-b74d-bd5f3b3d2a17

I need to get back to work on my XrmToolbox plugin, I am really sorry about that.. it is still not published

Thanks Oliver, we will try this approach. It would be nice to have that plugin 😉

For Arabic we also need to set the direction to rtl in the HTML tag. Do you know where can we do this?

"For Arabic we also need to set the direction to rtl in the HTML tag. Do you know where can we do this?"

not sure I understand what you mean.. can you explain a bit more?

RTL = Right to Left orientation. Arabic is read right to left vis-a-vis other languages.

hi @jknight-rome I am sorry about my ignorance 🙈

my guess here is that you would have to change the bootstrap to an RTL compatible one, I have never done that myself, but might be worth trying:

GitHub - morteza/bootstrap-rtl: RTL Theme for Bootstrap v3.x

GitHub - Kaakati/RTL_Bootstrap: Arabic Bootstrap - RTL v3.2.0

Hi

You can do this in css part of the webpage without touching bootstrap. Let us say you have used et-EE to represent  Arabic in your portal then.

Something like this in css section of the Page.

html[lang="et-EE"] .crmEntityFormView * {
direction: rtl; }
