How to enable RTL controls on compose but keep non-RTL interface language

WebMail Lite offers support for several Right-To-Left languages, such as Arabic, Hebrew and Persian. It allows for switching between RTL and LTR in message compose mode. The interface is adjusted according to the language selected.

However, you might want to have those RTL and LTR controls even if you're using English or some other non-RTL language.

Enabling RTL controls for all users

In data/settings/modules/MailWebclient.config.json configuration file, set "AllowChangeInputDirection" to true.

Enabling RTL controls in user account settings

If the feature isn't enabled globally per the above section, users can still enable it for their account as follows:

  • Switch to any RTL language of your choice;
  • In Mail Settings, set Show "change input direction" buttons for all languages option to On;
  • Switch back to any other language you prefer having the interface in.

    As a result, you'll have RTL and LTR buttons in compose screen regardless of WebMail Lite interface language selected.
