# Internationalization
To support right-to-left languages, application layout can be automatically
flipped from LTR to RTL. The `I18nManager` API can be used to help with more
fine-grained control and testing of RTL layouts.
React Native for Web provides an experimental feature to support "true left"
and "true right" styles. For example, `left` will be flipped to `right` in RTL
mode, but `left$noI18n` will not. More information is available in the `Text`
and `View` documentation.
## Working with icons and images
Icons and images that must match the LTR or RTL layout of the app need to be manually flipped.
Either use a transform style:
```js
<Image
source={...}
style={{ transform: [{ scaleX: I18nManager.isRTL ? -1 : 1 }] }}
/>
```
Or replace the source asset:
```js
import imageSourceLTR from './back.png';
import imageSourceRTL from './forward.png';
<Image
source={I18nManager.isRTL ? imageSourceRTL : imageSourceLTR}
/>
```
