YouTrack Server 2022.1 Help

Right-to-Left Language Support

If you enable RTL language support on your YouTrack server, the following changes are applied to the user interface:

  • When a user types in an RTL language in any text field, the text and the input progress is displayed correctly, from right to left.

  • All drop-down lists and menus are right-aligned.

  • On the Issues list, all fields and controls are presented from right to left as well.

  • Comments are displayed from right to left, with the user's avatar moved to the right.

Take a look at the following images to see how the user interface changes with RTL language support.

  • Issues list:

  • Single issue view:

These changes apply to the whole system, and not on a per-project basis. No matter which language a user chooses to use in an issue, the text input fields and drop-down lists are aligned from right to left.

To enable RTL language support:

  1. From the Administration menu, select Server Settings > Global Settings.

  2. Select the Internationalization tab.

  3. In the System Language section, select the RTL Support option.

  4. Click the Save button at the bottom of the page.
