Dear moderator,
I am trying to build an RTL supportive website, where the main menue items, the title and everything will be automatically aligned from Right-to-Left. This is very important because in Hebrew and Arabic all the text is written that way.
I did not find that your software supports RTL, so therefore I am writing to you here.
I also reviewd other topics in this forum to see if this was answered, and I found that it was not answered fully and that it is still an issue.
Please provide me with answers on this.

Hello Kellman S.,

I did not quite understand this. You mean if the order of my menu is:
Home
Services
Gallery
Contact
So I need to switch it to:
Contact
Gallery
Services
Home
?
Yes, that's correct...

But then I am loosing the weight for the SEO, as the sitemap organizes it differently.
Additionally, if you look at the picture I attached in the original topic, you will see that the page name is also aligned to the left. How do I fix it to be alinged to the right?
Additionally, when I make a contact form, all the titles are aligned left instead of right.
I'm not sure I quite understand what you mean... the order of pages in the sitemap has no bearing on SEO in that sense... WebSite X5 produces its own XML sitemap depending on how you arrange the pages in Step 2 Map Creation.
It's very quick and easy to change the alignment of the Page Titles in Step 1 General Settings > Template Style > Text Style > Page Item (please see the screenshot attached)
These can be changed simply in the same way as the Page Titles by going to the 'Style' tab on the Email Form Object Properties and selecting 'Labels' from the Form Item drop-down menu, then 'Alignment Right', etc.

That is the thing, in step 2 map creation I organized the menu items per importance. but the output when I do preview is that it shows that the first item, is the last item.
In regards to the contact form that I am trying to make - the title of each field is still showing on the left instead of right, and I have set all the options of text style to be "right.
Have you cleared the browser cache after making changes? This is often necessary.
It is useful when working with WebSite X5 to hold down the 'CTRL' key whilst entering the Preview mode. This rebuilds the project from scratch and eliminates possible anomalies such as you describe.
If, having done so, things still do not display as you expect then could you clarify in greater detail, perhaps with a screenshot?
Be aware that the alignment for the field titles in the Email Form Object must be done within the Email Form Object Properties screen (via the Style tab as previously described) - the Text Style settings in Step 1 have no bearing on the Email Form Object field title alignment.

Dear Paul,
see attached screenshot.
The menu starting from the end to start, although in the site map it is organized good.
Can you please post a screenshot showing how the same pages are arranged in Step 2 Sitemap Creation?
Thank you...
Author
Here you can see the arrangement.
You need to use the up and down arrow keys on the right of the screen (in Step 2 Sitemap Creation) to arrange the pages in the correct order as shown in the screenshot I have attached.

I know that, but then it changes the order for the sitemap, and harms the xml file which google reads
also look at attached screenshot for the contact for - i cant manage to make it rtl.
It doesn't negatively affect the XML sitemap in any way. If you look at the screenshot attached you will see the XML sitemap shown in the Preview.
Do you have your Email Form Object settings as in the screenshot attached?
Author
Yes, exactly like that
It doesn't negatively affect the XML sitemap in any way. If you look at the screenshot attached you will see the XML sitemap shown in the Preview.
look at the attached picture - the sitemap is upside down here
I will ask Incomedia to comment on the Email Form Object issue, as I cannot reproduce it.
The screenshot you attached shows the HTML sitemap as opposed to the XML sitemap. The HTML sitemap is not used for search engine ranking and will not affect your SEO in any way. You can disable the HTML sitemap within WebSite X5 if you wish.

Ok thanks, I will continue to play with it around a bit more, and if I will have more quetsions I will write here.
