# Enable support for right-to-left languages

# Enable support for right-to-left languages {#ariaid-title1}

* Release version: Yokohama

* ![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read

When the session language is a right-to-left language, the direction of the portal user interface is mirrored to display from right to left.

## Before you begin

Understand how the UI works for a right-to-left language, see [CSS for right-to-left languages in portals](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=css-directives-right-to-left-languages&version=yokohama&pubname=yokohama-platform-user-interface&ft:locale=en-US).

Role required: sp_admin or admin

## About this task

Based on the selected language preferences, the entire hierarchy of existing infrastructure for styling left-to-right languages---the theme, page, widget, and widget instance SCSS---is converted to CSS for right-to-left languages.

* When the session language is a right-to-left language, for example Hebrew, the direction of the portal user interface displays from right to left.
* The arrow next to View Org Chart in employee_profile widget, View All in ec_pro_dashboard, employee taxonomy topic widget, and across Employee Center points to left per the RTL format.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllService PortalPortals.
2. Select the Employee Center portal.
3. Select the Support right-to-left languages option.
4. Select Update.  
   CSS that mirrors the direction of a portal user interface for right-to-left languages is generated.

## Result

When the session language is a right-to-left language, the direction of the portal user interface displays from right-to-left. The arrow next to View Org Chart in employee_profile widget, View All in ec_pro_dashboard, employee taxonomy topic widget, and across Employee Center points to left per the RTL format.  
Note:  
When you support Right-to-Left languages, change the Card Content Alignment field value to Right. Alternatively, use the center alignment to avoid issues.
For more information, see [Modify the Quick links widget display](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/POK76vndLnnfEgAiElukUg "Design and manage the appearance of the widget, such as the title, display style, tile size, and content alignment.").
