logical-properties

Review CSS spacing, borders, and positioning for conversion to logical properties, which follow writing direction. Check rendered layouts across screen sizes and interaction states to support right-to-left languages and vertical text.

Good for

  • Adapting layouts for Arabic or Hebrew
  • Replacing fixed left and right spacing in CSS
  • Reviewing layouts for vertical writing

Overview

What it does

Reviews CSS spacing, borders, and positioning to help replace fixed directions with logical properties that follow the flow of text. For example, replacing margin-left with margin-inline-start sets spacing on the left for languages written from left to right and on the right for languages written from right to left. It also covers replacing top and bottom settings according to the writing direction.

When it helps

Use it when adapting a layout for right-to-left languages such as Arabic or Hebrew, or when working on vertical text layouts. It examines stylesheets and component styles, then identifies the specific selectors and declarations that need conversion. Before suggesting changes, it checks the actual rendered layout across screen-size breakpoints and interaction states. It also explains the difference between physical directions and directions defined by the flow of text.

Example requests

  • “Find fixed left and right settings in this CSS that should become logical properties.”
  • “Adjust the spacing so it works correctly for right-to-left languages.”
  • “Check the vertical text layout and explain physical versus logical directions.”

Use CSS logical properties for i18n and RTL support

Physical CSS properties (margin-left, padding-right) are hardcoded to screen directions. In right-to-left languages (Arabic, Hebrew, Persian), what should be margin-left becomes margin-right. Without logical properties, supporting RTL requires maintaining duplicate stylesheets or complex overrides with [dir=rtl] selectors. Logical properties handle this automatically.

Quick Reference

  • Logical properties adapt to writing direction — margin-inline-start is left in LTR, right in RTL
  • Replace left/right margin and padding with inline-start/inline-end equivalents
  • Replace top/bottom with block-start/block-end equivalents
  • Logical properties also work correctly for vertical writing modes

Check

Find all uses of margin-left, margin-right, padding-left, padding-right, border-left, border-right, left, right (as positioning) that should be converted to logical equivalents.

Fix

Convert physical direction properties to their CSS logical property equivalents for RTL and internationalization support.

Explain

Explain CSS logical properties, the difference between physical and logical directions, and how they enable RTL language support.
