Board Game Arena

Hi BGA devs

I’m currently starting to seriously invest time in improving Hebrew accessibility on BGA and working on broader translation efforts.

To avoid repeating everything here, I already wrote a more detailed post in the Translations forum (context + goals):
https://boardgamearena.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=47723

While testing Hebrew support, I noticed something interesting:

In many parts of the site, the experience is actually better when Hebrew is used while the interface layout remains **LTR** (instead of switching the whole UI to RTL).
In other words - Hebrew text translation works, but full RTL layout switching sometimes creates UI/layout issues.

So I wanted to ask:

**Would it be possible to add an option in language settings for RTL languages (Hebrew / Arabic / etc.) to keep the site layout in LTR and only translate the text?**

Something like:
- Language: Hebrew
- Layout direction: LTR (optional override)

I think this could significantly improve usability for RTL users until full RTL support is polished across all pages/components.

Thanks
Barak
