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). + +**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** + +Thibaud Colas + +**Aims** + +- Establish a process for converting the Wagtail admin styles to support RTL languages, including quality assurance, and ongoing support +- Convert most / all of the admin styles following this new process +- Showcase how this can be done for other projects. + +--- \ No newline at end of file
