## Description

**Do you write posts in different languages that have different directions?**
 This
plugin enables a feature in the post editor which allow writing texts in Left-to-
Right and Right-to-Left directions in the same post (or page) so you can write in
English (and any other LTR language) and also RTL languages like Arabic, Persian
and Hebrew.

**Simply look for the new buttons added to the post editor after installing the 
plugin.** (See the screenshots for better understanding)

اضافة زرارين لشريط التحرير لتمكين تحويل النص للقراءة من اليمين لليسار مثل اللغة 
العربية والفارسية والعبرية

 * Note: This plugin will not change the direction of the post title, since that
   is controlled by the theme.
