Hi my friends...
I am translating OCS to farsi and I want to know how I can change the text directions of OCS pages to Right to Left for Farsi.
Thanks.
Best Regards.

Documentation: The OJS Technical Reference and the OJS API Reference are both available from the OJS Documentation page. While these are OJS-specific, the OCS codebase is similar enough to OJS they should be of help. There is also an [url=http://pkp.sfu.ca/ocs_documentation[/url]OCS Documentation[/url] page with some more general documentation that might also be of interest.
Git: You can access our public Git Repository here. Comprehensive Git usage instructions are available on the wiki.

Questions and discussion are welcome, but if you have a workflow or usability question you should probably post to the OCS Conference Support and Discussion subforum; if you have a technical support question, try the OCS Technical Support subforum.

Hi Ehsan,
OCS (and, in fact, all of the PKP applications) uses the UTF-8 standard for character encoding, which supports bi-directional ("bidi", ie. right-to-left, "RTL") text. All that's required to have the text display in RTL is to add the appropriate Unicode mark characters at the beginning of each line for RTL. This is usually automatically done by any RTL-based editor when producing UTF-8 files, eg. XML.
More information is available here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_control_characters#Bidirectional_text_control
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bi-directional_text#Unicode_support
Hope this helps,
MJ

Hi ehsantux,
You won't need to change any css files or javascript, etc. You may want to look at the OJS version of Farsi to see how translations work: http://pkp.sfu.ca/ojs-languages/farsi. Mahmoud Saghaei, the OJS Farsi translator, may also be able to give you some help, although I know he is busy.
Cheers,
James

Hello guys,
I think what he meant was the actual layout of the system which usually can be controlled using something like dir="rtl" in the header file or direction:rtl; in the CSS file.
I know that because I am interested myself to see if the frontend of your systems can be easily changed to a RTL layout without too many problems.
Regards
