Q: Does Portal support BIDI?
A: Yes, WebSphere Portal supports bi-directional languages starting with Version 4.1. Related tags are defined in WebSphere Portal Taglib. These can be used to encapsulate contents which need to 'be bidi-ed' in those languages. You can also add the list of BiDirectional languages separated by ',' or ';' after the key "locales.bidi" in \WebSphere\AppServer\lib\app\config\services\LocalizerService.properties, such as: ar, ur, yi, etc. |
