Editor language and direction

  • A. I would like the interface to be in the translated language while editing each page version.
    B. When translating a website to RTL language the editor must be RTL too. Now it is always LTR.
    I do not want to change the whole admin to the RTL language, because it will harm the original English editing (main language).

    Thanks,
    Ronny

    I finally found two solutions to change the CSS of the editor.
    Add class RTL and rely on editor-style.css to support it (Twenty Thirteen does).

    function polylang_tinymce_settings($settings)
{
	global $post, $polylang;
	$language = $polylang->model->get_post_language($post->ID);
	if ($language->is_rtl)
		$settings['body_class'] .= ' rtl';
    return $settings;
}
add_filter('tiny_mce_before_init','polylang_tinymce_settings');

    Add CSS file to support the RTL:

    function my_editor_style($url)
{
	global $post, $polylang;
	$language = $polylang->model->get_post_language($post->ID);
	if ($language->is_rtl)
	{
		if ( !empty($url) )
			$url .= ',';

		// Change the path here if using sub-directory
		$url .= trailingslashit( get_stylesheet_directory_uri() ) . 'editor-style-rtl.css';
	}

	return $url;
}
add_filter('mce_css', 'my_editor_style');
