    I like the plugin very much, but for some reason when it comes to Arabic (RTL) sometimes it translates and other times it just spits out individual letters which makes it almost impossible to read, since all words are combined as bunch of letters together. What is weird is that it will translate correctly in some lines in same paragraph and not in other lines lines. cannot provide a link to the website since it is still under construction and cannot show this error.

    Your help is appreciated

    Hi, Just noticed something too, for some reason when Gtranslate attempts to translate to Arabic from English, it uses the letters backwards. So let us say the word that needs translating is as follows:

    English: Sun
    Arabic: ?????

    what the translator does is it translates by placing the left letter first and the right letter last as if it is reading it in English, which means it is translating the word but placing the letters backwards, and that is why it was not readable. The way to overcome that was to refresh the page or click on the “Arabic” button again and it would then place the letters properly, but that is not practical to ask the website visitor to refresh the page to read it in another language. I think it just needs some updating of some sorts by not placing letters backwards when it translates. Again not sure why it does that on some lines and not on others in same paragraph.

    Hi,

    I believe you are referring to the text on the slider.

    Try to disable slider effects which usually wrap each letter inside a HTML tag to be able to manipulate letters individually.

    You can also try our paid version: https://gtranslate.io/#pricing which does not depend on javascript and the text will be translated in the response and not after the page is rendered, like in free version. In that case the effects will be applied to the translated text.

    Unfortunately without being able to see the issue on your website I cannot suggest anything else.

    Thanks! ??
