title: Wordpress theme won't switch to RTL using qTranslate plugin
body: <p>I am using <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/qtranslate-x/" rel="nofollow">qTranslate</a> plugin which allows me to translate posts and fields.</p>
  
  <p>The first language is English, the second language is Arabic which requires RTL design.</p>
  
  <p>I followed their <a href="https://qtranslatexteam.wordpress.com/faq/" rel="nofollow">FAQ</a> and <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Right-to-Left_Language_Support" rel="nofollow">Wordpress' Right-to-Left Language Support</a>.
  The FAQ of the plugin says it should work automatically but if it doesn't that I need to check Wordpress' documentation on the issue, so I did, it says this:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Start with your main theme stylesheet (usually style.css). Save this
    file as rtl.css Add the following attributes to the body selector:</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <pre><code>direction: rtl;
  unicode-bidi: embed;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So I created a new copy of <code>style.css</code> and named it <code>rtl.css</code> then added <code>direction:rtl</code> to the body selector.</p>
  
  <p>But it's not working, when I switch the language to Arabic, it still displays LTR.</p>
  
  <p>However if I add <code>direction:rtl</code> to the body selection in <code>style.css</code> it works, the theme switches to RTL.</p>
  
  <p>What can I do in this situation?</p>
