In what way do you mean? Language or Right To Left (RTL) support?
Glide supports Arabic as a language for the built in verbiage of the glide interface. However, it will not translate data from you tables into Arabic. You would have to build that functionality yourself, but if you want built in text to translate, that will happen automatically based on the regional language that a user has selected on their device and browser.

If you are talking about RTL support, then Glide does not currently support that. Many have used a lot of CSS give apps an RTL feel. Pages do not allow for CSS, but Apps do.
There are several posts regarding the use of CSS to force RTL. This is the latest.

> Hi, Has anyone noticed a change in the response (or lack of) by Glide apps to the CSS we use for RTL (inside Rich Text)? Is there no way to add the same rich-text components to all pages, to make them RTL, regardless of which components are actually used on that screen? Thanks
This is a feature request that you can vote on to request RTL support.

> My app is in Hebrew, which works fine except from text alignment and headaches with confusion between text and punctuations. All my text is still aligned to the left, which is not very Middle-East styled slight_smile . Also if you want to do it completely right, linked screen should then slide-in from left to right rather than right-to-left. And also, the main layout should be right-aligned too, with the Hamburger menu to the right, the ‘+’ button to the left, and the tabs ordered right-to-le…

i am really impressed with your respected reply. Really Thank you.
in fact, i will try to survive with the alignment, However, Glide mentioned that the main interface could be in Arabic as per the below documentation
[Glide](https://docs.glideapps.com/all/topics/faq/localization).
they didn’t show Pages, However, i hope it is available.
Respect ❤

Glide does not natively support right to left text. I suggest talking to @Gideon_Lahav_Busines as he has done a lot of work to make his apps work with right to left languages.
