How to Create Right to Left Forms?
Need to create online forms in Arabic, Hebrew, or other Right to Left (RTL) languages?
Most form builders struggle with this. You end up with broken layouts, misaligned labels, or awkward translations. But with Formester, creating clean, responsive RTL forms is simple even if you don’t know the language.
In just a few clicks, you can build forms that support RTL text, look great on every device, and switch between languages seamlessly.
In this guide, you'll learn exactly how to do that.
Why RTL Support Matters
If you’re building forms for audiences in the Middle East or other regions where right-to-left languages are common, you need to give users a native experience.
That means:
Text alignment should start from the right.
Labels and inputs should follow natural reading flow.
Language selection should feel seamless.
And you shouldn’t have to build separate forms for each language. That’s where Formester’s multilingual and RTL support comes in.
How to Create RTL Forms in Formester
Let’s walk through how to build a multilingual form with RTL language support using Formester.
Step 1: Create Your Form
Start by logging into your Formester account.
You can:
Build a new form using the AI form builder.
Or open an existing form, like a contact form or feedback form.
Design your form using the usual layout, add your field types, like Name, Email, Message, etc.
Step 2: Enable Multilanguage Support
Once your base form is ready:
Go to the Advanced settings panel.
Look for the Multilanguage option.
Toggle it ON.
This unlocks the ability to add multiple language versions of your form.
Step 3: Add RTL Languages
Now it’s time to add RTL languages like Arabic or Hebrew.
Click Add Language.
Choose Arabic, Hebrew, or any RTL language from the dropdown.
Use the Translate with AI to auto-translate your form content.
Within seconds, the AI will translate and align your entire form, including questions, options, and placeholders, for RTL display.
You can add more than one language too. For example, you can have:
English as the default.
Arabic and Hebrew as alternatives.
Want Arabic as the main language? You can set it as primary, and the form will default to that for users.
Step 4: Preview the RTL Form
Click Preview to see your form in action.
Now your users can:
Choose their preferred language from a dropdown.
View the form aligned right to left when Arabic or Hebrew is selected.
Switch languages at any time.
The layout adjusts automatically, and everything looks smooth and clean—on both desktop and mobile.
