Gsap 3 SplitText Right to Left language support?

[jlordy1]

It seems that Gsap 3 SplitText doesnt work for RTL languages e.g. Arabic. I'm creating a multi-language project but the characters are in the wrong order for RTL languages. The revert() I added on complete drew my attention to it, as it all goes back into the correct order.

Are there any workarounds?

Hey @jlordy1,

 

Did you set dir="rtl"?

 

<h1 id="quote" dir="rtl"> להישאר בחורים מגניבים</h1>.

Arabic text is not working  i tried using split text , when it comes arabic its totally something else,

<p> تُعد القيادة عبر التاريخ من أهم المؤثرات في نشأة ظاهرة التغير السياسي لدى الشعوب؛ فبقدْر ما تكون الشعوب مصدر إلهام لقياداتها التاريخية التي تحقق لها منجزات مشهودة، تَمنح القياداتُ الشعبَ في الوقت نفسه القدرة على اختزال مراحل تطوره </p>

try this font

@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Noto+Kufi+Arabic:wght@100;200;400;900&display=swap');

    margin: 0;
    font-family: 'Noto Kufi Arabic', sans-serif;
}

 

please do the needful

Hi @IT-Devlopers and welcome to the GreenSock forums!

 

It's pretty tough to troubleshoot without a minimal demo - the issue could be caused by CSS, markup, a third party library, your browser, an external script that's totally unrelated to GSAP, etc. Would you please provide a very simple CodePen or Stackblitz that demonstrates the issue? 

 

Please don't include your whole project. Just some colored <div> elements and the GSAP code is best (avoid frameworks if possible). See if you can recreate the issue with as few dependancies as possible. If not, incrementally add code bit by bit until it breaks. Usually people solve their own issues during this process! If not, then at least we have a reduced test case which greatly increases your chances of getting a relevant answer.

 

Here's a starter CodePen that loads all the plugins. Just click "fork" at the bottom right and make your minimal demo:

If you're using something like React/Next/Vue/Nuxt or some other framework, you may find StackBlitz easier to use. We have a series of collections with different templates for you to get started on these different frameworks: React/Next/Vue/Nuxt.

 

Once we see an isolated demo, we'll do our best to jump in and help with your GSAP-specific questions.

Hi,

 

This seems to work 🤷‍♂️

Hopefully this helps.

this is the difference with split text and without split text second paragraph is the correct, could you please help us to fix and make it same

Hi,

 

Sorry about the issues but this could be related to the fact that SplitText wasn't designed for right-to-left languages as explained here:

I wish we had some sort of solution for you, but this is a limitation in this regard. We're all ears if you or anyone else has ideas in order to improve SplitText so it works in this type of scenarios.

 

Good luck with your project!

Happy Tweening!
