| --- | |
| Chakra UI v3.0 supports RTL languages. The key things you need to know are: | |
| - The `dir` prop on the `html` element or any parent element | |
| - The `LocaleProvider` component is used to set the `locale` and `dir` on logic | |
| based components from Ark UI | |
| When these are set, the components will be rendered in the correct direction and | |
| the accessibility attributes will be set correctly. | |
| <ExampleTabs name="locale-provider-basic" /> | |
| ## Setting the `dir` prop | |
| The `dir` prop on the `html` element or any parent element will set the | |
| direction of the component. | |
| ```tsx /dir="rtl"/ | |
| <html dir="rtl"> | |
| <Heading>RTL - ุงูู ุฃู ู ุฑุฌุน ููุชููู, ุงู </Heading> | |
| <Slider /> | |
| </html> | |
| ``` | |
| ## Using the `LocaleProvider` component | |
| The `LocaleProvider` component is used to set the `locale` and `dir` on logic | |
| based components from Ark UI. | |
| ```tsx {1} | |
| <LocaleProvider locale="ar-Ar"> | |
| <Heading>RTL - ุงูู ุฃู ู ุฑุฌุน ููุชููู, ุงู </Heading> | |
| <Slider /> | |
| </LocaleProvider> | |
| ``` | |
| > Ensure you wrap the root component in the `LocaleProvider` component. | |
| ## Conclusion | |
| Bringing it all together, here's how the RTL support works: | |
| ```tsx {1} /dir="rtl"/ | |
| <LocaleProvider locale="ar-Ar"> | |
| <Stack dir="rtl"> | |
| <Heading>RTL - ุงูู ุฃู ู ุฑุฌุน ููุชููู, ุงู </Heading> | |
| <Slider /> | |
| </Stack> | |
| </LocaleProvider> | |
| ``` | |
