LTR-RTL

This extension allows you to change web page text direction.

What is LTR-RTL?
LTR-RTL is a handy Chrome extension particularly designed to alter the text direction on web pages. The extension facilitates the user in switching the text direction from the standard left-to-right (LTR) to right-to-left (RTL), beneficial specifically when viewing languages that are traditionally written and read from right to left, such as Hebrew or Arabic. The extension features keyboard shortcuts for quick changes, although these can be customized if already in use. It's worth noting that the extension will only alter the text direction for HTML elements that don't already have a specified language direction.

Summary

This extension allows you to change the web page text direction. This is useful when you are viewing right to left text such as Hebrew or Arabic in an application that displays from left to right.

Shortcuts: Ctrl+Shift+J -- switch to RTL Ctrl+Shift+E -- switch to LTR

Note 1: If one or both of the shortcuts don't work, it means that something else is mapped to them. Chrome allows you to remap extension shortcuts, and you can remap the shortcuts to something that isn't in use. Alternatively, the extension adds an item to the Chrome right click menu, which you can use to switch text direction instead of the shortcuts.

Note 2: The language direction will only change for HTML elements that don't have a specified language direction.

Very helpful! I use this tool because Google Translate, displays mixed-up right-to-left text. It's fantastic, and I use it for both studying and translating pages into languages that are new to me. I am immensely grateful for this.
