# Right-to-left support

{% hint style="info" %}
This feature relies on Custom CSS, which is available on Beefree SDK [Superpowers plan](https://developers.beefree.io/pricing-plans) and above.
{% endhint %}

In Beefree SDK, RTL (right-to-left) builder support is achieved by loading a dedicated stylesheet through the `customCss` property, the same mechanism used for any other UI restyling.

This approach mirrors the builder's layout, spacing, and iconography for languages such as Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, and Urdu, while deliberately keeping a handful of components in LTR mode where reversing direction would break their behavior or their meaning (URLs, sliders, code inputs).

{% hint style="success" %}
This page covers the **builder's own UI direction** (sidebar, tabs, panels, toolbars). It does not affect the direction of content *inside* the templates your users create — that's controlled independently through row/text settings and, for localized content, the `language` property in `beeConfig`.
{% endhint %}

As with any Custom CSS, we suggest you only target classes with the --cs suffix.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.beefree.io/beefree-sdk/other-customizations/appearance/right-to-left-support.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
