Tutorial: Localize applications for right-to-left locales

In this tutorial you learn how to localize your Kanzi application for right-to-left locales. A right-to-left locale is a language which is written and read from the right side of the page to the left. This tutorial uses Arabic and Hebrew as examples of right-to-left locales.

This tutorial assumes you are familiar with the basics of localizing applications in Kanzi. To learn about localizing applications, see the Tutorial: Localize your application.

In the first two steps of the tutorial you learn how to prepare an application for right-to-left locales. In the third step you use the Kanzi Engine API to load the locale packs for the right-to-left locales and instantiate the prefabs you use with the locales in your Kanzi application. This last step requires that you have Kanzi development environment set up.

This video shows the result of the tutorial.
