Languages for your clients and staff

ClientFence ships with its translations, including Arabic, Hebrew and Persian. The language choices include regional variants, such as US, UK and Australian English. You choose which ones your clients and staff can pick.

Arabic, Hebrew and Persian use right-to-left layouts in the client area. In the admin area, the navigation, dashboard and supported settings panels follow that direction; other page content keeps its left-to-right layout.
