<concept id="GUID-8E2FA5CC-C582-4321-88BB-C5CE3AA047FE" xml:lang="en"><title>Layout

changes in bi-directional languages</title><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>

<p>If the display text language is following right-to-left writing direction

(numbers are still left-to-right in bi-directional languages), also the standard

panes change their places, and content can be mirrored if needed. The general

rules for layouts in bi-directional UI languages are the following:</p>

<ol>

<li id="GUID-73433B79-FED1-481F-BF31-4DBF1C7BEF23"><p>The Status pane components

are mirrored, for example, the signal and battery panes change

their places.</p></li>

<li id="GUID-098A0CDB-2DB1-4285-85A3-A49FAF792B09"><p>The main pane lists

and grids are mirrored: the A column icons and texts are on the right rather

than on the left, and so on.</p></li>

<li id="GUID-0F7210EA-6C23-4B44-B439-02A5BD865DF5"><p>The Control pane is

not mirrored: the left softkey (typically Options or a positive selection)

remains on the left, and the right softkey (typically a negative command such

as Back, Exit, or Cancel) remains on the right.</p></li>

</ol>
