## RTL support for Wagtail
### Summary
Wagtail’s administration interface currently has poor support for right-to-left languages, such as Arabic and Hebrew. We have been wanting to fix this for a while ([#1240](https://github.com/wagtail/wagtail/issues/1240)), and now have a great opportunity to do so with [CSS logical properties](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_Logical_Properties).
### Expected outcomes
The Wagtail UI supports Arabic, Hebrew, and other right-to-left languages.
### Implementation
We want to refactor Wagtail’s stylesheets to use CSS logical properties, Flexbox, and Grid layout, so the styles can be written agnostic to the writing direction of the language – browsers would then automatically display the correct end-user layout based on the target language.
### Skills
HTML and CSS. Bonus: user experience, visual design, Django.
### Mentors
- Lead: Thibaud Colas https://github.com/thibaudcolas
- Support: Coen van der Kamp https://github.com/allcaps
- Support 2: TBC
We will supply a primary mentor and at least two secondary mentors to support the participant.
### Size
Expected size of project approximately 350 hours.
### Difficulty rating
Medium

# Canceled
## RTL support for Wagtail
This project is canceled because:
1. Wagtail is working on a new page editor. The work clashes with this project.
2. Wagtail core-team and mentors find other projects more important.
