# Internationalization

Electrik ships JSON translations for:

| Locale | Notes |
| --- | --- |
| `en` | Default |
| `es` | Spanish |
| `fr` | French |
| `ar` | Arabic — `dir="rtl"` on layouts |
| `hi` | Hindi |

## Resolution

1. Authenticated user Profile locale (if set and allowed)
2. Else `APP_LOCALE`

Guests always use `APP_LOCALE` (no cookie locale picker). There is **no** team default locale.

## Config

```php
'locales' => ['en', 'es', 'fr', 'ar', 'hi'],
```

Middleware `electrik.locale` (`SetLocale`) is pushed onto the `web` group.

## RTL

Arabic sets document `dir="rtl"`. Prefer logical Tailwind classes (`text-start`, `border-e`, `ps-*`) in custom views so layouts stay mirrored.
