Introduction

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to dive into the world of RTL design? In this article, I’m going to take you through my personal RTL design internship experience, sharing the highs, the lows, and everything in between. If you’re considering a career in design or simply curious about what RTL stands for, this is the article for you.

What is RTL Design?

RTL, or Right-to-Left, is a text direction that’s used in languages such as Arabic, Hebrew, and Persian. It’s a stark contrast to the Left-to-Right (LTR) text direction that we’re all familiar with in English and other languages. RTL design, therefore, involves creating layouts and interfaces that can accommodate both text directions seamlessly.
