Did you know that almost 2 billion people write and read from right to left?

2 000 000 000 people, that is really a lot!

If you are one of them, I am pretty sure that you are excited about VideoPsalm adjusting itself to the way you read.

This topic shows how to setup your VideoPsalm for a Right-to-left culture.
Right-to-left (RTL) layout is fully supported in VideoPsalm starting with version 1.27.

When you start VideoPsalm on an operating system configured to Arabic, it displays its menus and panels in a Right-to-left layout:

In an RTL layout, notice the Windows closing buttons, completely at the left, and the ribbon tabs, at the right.

This is how it looks when you display Bible verses in a Right-to-left layout:

You will feel at home, whatever culture you belong to.

Select your language

To switch to another language, open the VideoPsalm options, and select your language in the "General" tab:

The newly selected language is applied immediately.
No restart is necessary after a language switch.

However, to get the Right-to-left layout, restart VideoPsalm:

After a restart, the layout of the VideoPsalm windows adjusts to the culture:

Here is the song verse order editor (new in version 1.27):

Everything is mirrored as it should be.
