Internationalization in semitic languages needs more than just translating texts, you would also need to mirror the layout horizontally.
This can be done by adding dir="rtl" the the layout body tag, but this is propably not be enough and you will need to create a different style for RTL.
With tailwindcss-rtl plugin you will be able to support both RTL and LTR in the same style.
Full live demo based on the official tailwindcss course project is available here:
This plugin will work only on tailwindcss 1.4 and above.
Replace all utilities based on Right/Left with the new utilities specified below.
for example when you create an LTR layout and you would like to add left padding to an element you would normaly use pl-6, left is the start direction in LTR so you will replace it with ps-6.
Now add dir="rtl" or dir="ltr" attribute to your top level layout element:
<body dir="rtl">
Install tailwindcss-rtl package:
# Yarn
yarn add tailwindcss-rtl --dev
# NPM
npm install tailwindcss-rtl --save-dev
Require tailwindcss-rtl in tailwind.config.js file:

Some of the features used in this plugin are not compatible with older browers such as IE11, if you need to support those browsers, add target: 'IE11' to your tailwind config file, this will replace new features with methods supported by older browsers.
