Gentelella RTL

Gentelella RTL is a free, open-source right-to-left (RTL) Bootstrap 3 admin dashboard template, forked from the original Gentelella theme, that turns the left-to-right admin layout into a Persian- and Arabic-ready interface.

What is Gentelella RTL?

Gentelella RTL is a right-to-left version of the Gentelella Bootstrap admin template, released under the MIT License on GitHub. It takes the original English, left-to-right Gentelella theme and adapts its layout, typography, and components for RTL scripts such as Persian and Arabic, while keeping all of the original dashboard pages and widgets. The project is distributed as a Git repository, a Bower package, and an npm package, and includes a live demo hosted on GitHub Pages.
