Right to Left

If you want your application to be Arabic or just Right to Left, do the following steps:

1. In the Common\LayoutAwarePageChange.xaml.cs add this line to Loaded event: this.FlowDirection = Windows.UI.Xaml.FlowDirection.RightToLeft;
   This line changes the flow direction in all pages since they all inherit from this page.

2. Change the back button arrow direction by applying the following changes in StandardStyles.xaml:

• Put the following instead of the first part of the file:

  <ResourceDictionary.ThemeDictionaries>
  <ResourceDictionary x:Key="Default">
  <x:String x:Key="BackButtonGlyph">&#xE0AA;</x:String>
  <x:String x:Key="BackButtonSnappedGlyph">&#xE0AC;</x:String>
  </ResourceDictionary>
  <ResourceDictionary x:Key="HighContrast">
  <x:String x:Key="BackButtonGlyph">&#xE0AA;</x:String>
  <x:String x:Key="BackButtonSnappedGlyph">&#xE0AC;</x:String>
  </ResourceDictionary>
  </ResourceDictionary.ThemeDictionaries>
  

• Find: BackButtonStyle, and put &#xE0AB; in the ArrowGlyph Text value.

• Find: SnappedBackButtonStyle, and put &#xE0AD; in the ArrowGlyph Text value.
