[mralidoosti]

When using RTL languages ​​in WordPress 6, The admin dashboard (wp-admin) is not RTL.

This is because the dir ="rtl‌" tag is not added to the structure.

Hey,

I have checked on our end and as per @mralidoosti should RTL backend but it is not doing becuase it is not added dir ="rtl‌" tag in HTML tag.

Also i can see no anywhere added RTL on WordPress Persian language as of now.
here example ​https://fa.wordpress.org/support/

So i think need to think about this ticket by core team.

To clarify the has-dev-note keyword:

has-dev-note

A dev note has been published on the
make core blog outlining this change.
This change provides significant new
functionality, a large refactor, or
includes a breaking change.

Re-adding the has-testing-info keyword so that testers can refer to these when testing a patch.

To ensure a site is properly setup for RTL the translation of the ltr string needs to be rtl. For Persian it was not but that's now corrected, see ​https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp/dev/fa/default/?filters%5Bstatus%5D=either&filters%5Boriginal_id%5D=40305&sort%5Bby%5D=translation_date_added&sort%5Bhow%5D=desc

Marking as invalid since it's not an issue with core but rather an incorrect translation.

Likewise, the following 16 languages do not have either ltr or rtl for their translations:

• ​Latvian
• ​Albanian
• ​Macedonian
• ​Saraiki
• ​Bulgarian
• ​Punjabi
• ​Hindi
• ​Dzongkha
• ​Cebuano (has a capital I instead of lowercase l)
• ​Breton
• ​Ossetic
• ​Yoruba
• ​Oriya
• ​Balochi Southern
• ​Fulah
• ​Shqip (Kosovo)

I ordered these by percentage completed (the first four already meet the 90% threshold for the language pack, and Bulgarian is close).
