Bidirectional Interface

A user interface designed to support both left-to-right (LTR) and right-to-left (RTL) text directions, essential for languages such as Arabic, Hebrew, Farsi, and Urdu. Bidirectional interfaces must handle not only text direction but also the mirroring of layout elements, navigation patterns, and UI component placement. Designing accessible bidirectional interfaces presents unique challenges because most accessibility guidelines and design systems assume LTR conventions, and the optimal direction of interface elements in RTL contexts remains an active area of research.
