Forum Archive - Language specific CSS

I have installed GTranslate and in Arabic text is read from right to left, this has caused the telephone number on my site to read right to left - I want to over ride the css for Arabic. I checked in FireBug but couldn't see obvious id or class. I even added the <span class="notranslate"></span> The telephone number is part of an unordered list http://www.alvanblanchgroup.com/ar/ Also, the styling in the Arabic translated page has caused problems with image positioning, can you help to point me in the right direction?

I haven't received an answer - I searched on the web and found and quick and dirty approach Created a new css style .ltr { direction: ltr; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: bidi-override; } then added a span tag for the telephone number and it works but I haven't yet found a solution for language specific css - will keep on waiting and looking

Hi, You can detect current selected language and load your css. For the GTRanslate Pro General version it is $_GET['glang'] variable.

Thanks for the reply, not sure what to do with $_GET['glang'] variable

You should create css for Arabic , check current selected language and load the css file if the language is Arabic.

Thanks Yana Sorry if I sound abit dim, maybe because I am. I can create a css file, called maybe arabic.css, then add this to the info file for the Drupal site but do not understand what to do after that. Can you explain "check current selected language and load the css file if the language is Arabic." I also do not know what to do with $_GET['glang'] variable on a Drupal 7 install? Thanks for your patience

You need to create a small script which will check the current selected language and load your css file. Please ask your web developer to create the script.

Actually the reason i wanted this information was because when I translated my website into Arabic and because the language is read from rtl (right to left) this caused several of my layouts to go out of place. I decided the best solution in the end was to apply a direction:ltr to the disrupted layouts and they're now fine.

Thank you for the information.
