Right-to-left language support for new Google Sites

December 9, 2019

Google has added right-to-left language support in new Google Sites for the following languages:

  • Arabic
  • Farsi
  • Hebrew
  • Urdu

When you have your language set to one of the above, the site editing experience will adjust to place the editing sidebars and menus on the left-hand side of the screen instead of the right. Similarly, once a site is published, site viewers who have their default language set to one of the above will see navigation elements like menus reversed to match the right-to-left language.

According to Google, this feature should have begun to show up in U-M Google on November 12 and could take three days or longer to become fully visible.
