Create right-to-left language supported surveys, forms and polls

    This setting will turn the layout of both your questionnaire, questions and answer choices, and the respective [Live Analytics](https://www.surveylegend.com/user-guide/live-analytics/ "Real-time survey data analytics tool"), suitable for right to left languages. It makes sure that everything looks great, correctly aligned and easily readable. Everything will look nice and tidy, as if you’ve had a designer aligning the text in Photoshop for you.

Tip:

You can even switch the language while typing the questions, and use left-to-right words from other languages, and then switch back again to the original language and continue your sentence without worrying about defects in the layout. Read more about [bidirectional typing support](https://www.surveylegend.com/right-to-left-supported-survey-form-poll-questionnaire/#bidirectional "We support not only Right-to-Left Layout, but also Bidirectional typing.") for your surveys.

Tip:

We even have support for RTL fonts to give your surveys a greater visual boost. Just go to the [Design step](https://www.surveylegend.com/user-guide/designing-surveys/), and form the “Typography” section, pick a font that you like. Our RTL-compatible fonts are easy to spot, because they have dual names, one in English and the other one in the original language.
