Hello Everyone,

I have an app which I developed on Thunkable. I developed the app in a language which uses right to left i.e you start writing from the right.

When I use the app in a device which is another language, the app changes to left to right. This is a major issue because this changes the main functionality of the app.

What can I do to ensure that the app maintains the right to left feature no matter what language my users devices are?

Thank you for your help.

Happy to try and help here but I have a couple of questions to start.

Is the language set at the device level or by the OS?

Are you using the [writing direction](https://docs.thunkable.com/app-design/ui-components/basic-components/label#advanced-properties) set right to left in the component properties?

Hi,

The language is set at the device level. No I didn’t use writing direction in the app.

You can adjust the properties of the writing direction then to right to left then.
