FAQ: Does Transcy support RTL format?

Yes, Transcy works with RTL languages, but with an important clarification:

How Transcy Handles RTL

Transcy's primary function is translation of your default content sync from Shopify. Transcy focuses on accurately translating text from your store's default language into other languages, including RTL languages like Arabic.

RTL Display Depends on Your Theme

The RTL formatting and display is entirely dependent on your Shopify theme's capabilities. Here's how it works:

• If your theme supports RTL format: After Transcy translates your content into Arabic (or another RTL language), the translated text will automatically display in RTL format according to your theme's built-in RTL support.

• If your theme doesn't support RTL format: The Arabic translation will still appear correctly, but the layout direction will remain left-to-right (LTR) as per your theme's default settings.

The RTL format is determined by your Shopify theme's capabilities. If your translated content doesn't display in RTL format, please contact your theme developer for assistance with enabling RTL support.
