Does Gelacy support RTL format?

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


How Gelacy Handles RTL


Gelacy's primary function is translation of your default content sync from Shopify. Gelacy 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 right-to-left (RTL) layout and formatting are controlled by your Shopify theme, not by Gelacy. Here’s how it works:

  • If your theme supports RTL formatting:
    After Gelacy translates your content into Arabic (or another RTL language), the text will automatically display in RTL format based on your theme’s built-in support.

  • If your theme does not support RTL formatting:
    The Arabic translation will still appear correctly, but the layout direction will remain left-to-right (LTR) according to 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.
