Hello,

I need to create a multilingual website for a customer with the following languages:
-Armenian
-English
-French
-Greek
-Arabic
-Chinese
-Italian
-Spanish

Here is my question:
Since the languages desired are a mix between right-to-left and left-to-right languages, will it work ?

Thank you in advance for a fast answer !

Josee,

each language-variation of a posting is a posting itself
you can assign a different template to each of your postings

so if you create a template for each language, which will refer to its special CSS-file or include the style for the font-direction rtl or ltr directly in the header, there will be no problem

thank you !

Also, I was trying to create my languages in CMSMS MLE 1.6, and Arabic and Armenian are not present in the list of languages, can I find extra files somewhere, or they are just not supported yet ?
