Sass with RTL and LTR support isn’t available out of the box, but it can be done through simple Sass @mixin and @include rules that can be used across all Sass files.

RTL stands for Right-to-Left. It is a writing direction used in languages such as Arabic, Hebrew, and Persian. Supporting both right-to-left (RTL), more often bi-directional (BiDi), and left-to-right (LTR) representations of Web pages can be a challange.

The Act is a Directive, which means it sets binding accessibility goals upon ratifying the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities but leaves it to the Member States of the European Union to decide how they want to achieve them. It was implemented in 2019 and completes and complements existing accessibility-related EU laws.
