Yalla Kit

Disclosure first

This entry is here because right to left starters are genuinely scarce, and leaving it out to look neutral would be its own kind of dishonest. It is listed on the same terms as everything else, with the same caveats section, and it is made by the person who maintains this directory.

It was sold under a per seat commercial licence until August 2026, when the source was published under MIT. That history is worth knowing as you read the code, because the admin panel, the credit ledger and the plan machinery exist to make a product saleable rather than because every project needs them.

The repository now holds the whole source rather than a product page, so you can read it before deciding anything. If you would rather assemble the same capability yourself, the honest answer is still next-intl plus Tailwind's logical properties plus a few days of work.

What the right to left work actually involves

Retrofitting right to left support is unpleasant because the problem is not translation, it is direction. Every margin, padding, border and icon that assumed left now assumes wrong, and the failures are visual rather than thrown, so they hide until someone looks.

The approach that works is mechanical enforcement: logical properties everywhere, a lint rule that fails the build on a physical direction class, and a test that fails when a message key exists in one language and not the other. Those three rules are worth copying whether or not you use this kit.
