[Benyamin Yabets]

About two months ago I was told RTL is not officialy supported. Do you support it now officialy ?

Hi Oren,

The implementation of the RTL support is hard and requires more time. For that reason I cannot provide an accurate estimate on when it will be done. Nevertheless, if more people requests this feature, we will raise its priority right away in our ToDo list.

Dear telerik team.

The most of the users that need RTL support don't write it in the forums.
I tried to implament by my self the RTL to all of you skins and dialogs.
I couldn't complete it succeessfully 100%.

I think if you have rtl support in most of your controls: treeview, menu, combobox and others you really should implament the radeditor so he will support all the languages.

So please rise the priority of this issue and take care of it.
Thanks in advance,
Rasin Vadim.

Hi Rasin,

Thank you for your suggestions. We will have in mind your request and discuss the implementation of RTL support for RadEditor for ASP.NET AJAX on the next RadEditor team meeting.

I also add my voice. I spent some hours trying to get the AJAX Editor to support dir=rtl in my Arabic-English website. No success. Please consider raising the priority of that feature.

We are internationalizing our web application and need RTL support in Rad Editor. Here's another vote for adding the feature :-)

Hi guys,

Thank you for your votes!

We can confirm that we include officially the RTL support for our development plans for the Q3 release as one of important things to add.

Hi telerik team.

You said the the right to left feature of the rad ajax editor will be included in the Q3 2008 version. I couldn't find any notes of it being included in the version. 

Does rad ajax editor supports rtl in the new Q3 2008 version?

Thanks,
Vadim.

[Rumen]

Hi Vadim,

We were able to provide RTL support for the following controls in Q3 2008: RadSlider, RadWindow, RadTooltip, RadFormDecorator and RadDock. We are currently working on the new RTL skin for RadEditor, which implementation was rescheduled for Q3 2008 SP1.

Hi,

Another vote for RTL requirement. Is this supported now in any of the versions of RAD Editor?

Thanks,

Hello Manjit,

The RadEditor already supports RTL and you can find a working demo here.

Hello Jaya,

Here is a working demo with RadEditor and RTL.
http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/Editor/Examples/RightToLeft/DefaultCS.aspx
In the current inhouse editor version we have made extra changes to the editor's look in IE.
The coming Q3 2008 SP2 release next week will address the (current) empty spaces in the editor layout.
The example is also thoroughly reworked, featuring a radiobutton list that allows you to choose text in Arabic, Farsi and Hebrew.

Hi there,

Thanks for providing the link. When I edit in the editor, it still types to the right. when typed, it should go the other way. Is this going to be fixed?

Also, what do i need to install to get this version?

Thanks,
-Jaya

[Tervel]

Hello Jaya,

I am not sure what the correct behavior should be, as we do not have a RTL Windows installation.
We have set the "necessary" CSS for the editor content area, e.g.: direction: rtl;
From that point on, it is the browser that needs to take over.

One possibility might be that the Windows itself should be RTL-enabled (e.g. use Hebrew or Arabic installation).
In any case, if something needs to be changed further, you are welcome to modify the
RTL\EditorContentArea_RTL.css and add further properites).

To install the new version you need to log-in to your Telerik Client.Net account and download the latest SP from there.

Thanks.  We integrated the new Telerik bits into the build, but don’t see any explicit way to set the direction of the RadEditor. A few of the other Telerik controls have a “dir” attribute/property, but there is no such property in the RadEditor to set the direction. The version we have is: ver 2008.3.1314.35

Any documentation on this is appreciated.
Thanks,

Hello Telerik Team,

Its been 15 months since I post the question, I raise it again - we implemented the AJAX Editor but we got serious problems with RTL e.g. the popups created a huge horizontal scroll and disappeared , Do you have a stable RTL support for the Editor ?
We understand that we must upgrade to the Ajax latest ver because we bump into bugs with the old version for example all the relative links get about: and the links won't work.

Hello Benyamin,

You can easily test RadEditor for ASP.NET AJAX RTL support capabilities here:
http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/editor/examples/righttoleft/defaultcs.aspx

This is how the editor currently works. In case there are further corrections needed, please open a support ticket and send us some screenshots with bad layouts as well as suggestions what has to be fixed.
