LTR-RTL Extension

This extension allows you to change the web page text direction. This is useful when you are viewing right to left text such as Hebrew or Arabic in an application that displays from left to right.

Shortcuts:
Ctrl+Shift+J -- switch to RTL
Ctrl+Shift+E -- switch to LTR

Note 1: If one or both of the shortcuts don't work, it means that something else is mapped to them. Chrome allows you to remap extension shortcuts, and you can remap the shortcuts to something that isn't in use. Alternatively, the extension adds an item to the Chrome right click menu, which you can use to switch text direction instead of the shortcuts.

Note 2: The language direction will only change for HTML elements that don't have a specified language direction.

Yara Zarin (ID: 000000e466598414) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/27/2023 Very helpful! I use this tool because Google Translate, displays mixed-up right-to-left text. It's fantastic, and I use it for both studying and translating pages into languages that are new to me. I am immensely grateful for this.

Gokul NC (ID: 000000fe30d76926) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 05/22/2022 Helpful tool, thanks! Would be great if the selected direction (like RTL) is automatically enforced each time we visit a new page, instead of doing it manually each time.
