Shifting button image to right in arabic language without transforming the string-CodePudding

I have a UIButton with a string and an image on it. When I open app in arabic, button was still placed on left and string on right, however the string was correctly displayed in arabic.

To move the button to right, I applied transform on the button which moved image on right and string on left which I what I wanted, however it also transformed the string. So the string looks incorrect in arabic. How do I fix it or how do I prevent the string itself from transforming?

Code:

if isRightToLeftLanguage() {
   DispatchQueue.main.async {
      self.customButton.transform = CGAffineTransform(scaleX: -1.0, y: 1.0)
   }
}

Before applying transform:

You should be setting the semanticContentAttribute on a view to ask it to draw in rightToLeft. Obviously more to do here with delivering the right attribute but this should get you going.

self.customButton.semanticContentAttribute = .forceRightToLeft

This doesn't cascade down the view stack though, as there are some views that shouldn't be reversed such as playback controls etc.

CodePudding user response：

you can use semanticContentAttribute property of button like this:-

button.semanticContentAttribute = .forceRightToLeft

according to you code it should be

if isRightToLeftLanguage() {
  DispatchQueue.main.async {
     self.customButton.semanticContentAttribute = .forceRightToLeft
  }
}
