## 🔧 Technical Implementation Details

### RTL Language Detection
```php
private function is_rtl_language() {
    $locale = get_locale();
    $rtl_locales = array('ar', 'arc', 'dv', 'fa', 'he', 'ku', 'ps', 'sd', 'ug', 'ur', 'yi');
    
    foreach ($rtl_locales as $rtl_locale) {
        if (strpos($locale, $rtl_locale) === 0) {
            return true;
        }
    }
    return false;
}
```

### Admin RTL Implementation
- **Body Class:** Automatic `rtl` class addition to admin pages
- **Direction Attribute:** `dir="rtl"` set on document element
- **CSS Selectors:** `body.rtl .suggester-admin-page` targeting

### Frontend RTL Implementation

- **Template Support:** Both responsive selectors and RTL-specific classes

### CSS RTL Strategy
```css
/* Triple selector strategy for maximum compatibility */
body.rtl .suggester-element,
html[dir="rtl"] .suggester-element,
.suggester-element.suggester-rtl {
    direction: rtl;
    text-align: right;
}
