During the course of working on MedixCo,  which is a not-so-large project that was desired to be available in two languages, Persian (as the primary one) and English, I realised how challenging it is to design a bilingual user interface. Along with having a simple UI is was intended to be fast and responsive.

Despite the fact that almost all of the back-end development  was a cinch, thanks to the Laravel Framework, there was still one thing I had to decide on, which was about the way the owner could administrate the content. Whether to redirect him to separate admin areas (per language) or to present everything there was via a single area (the problem being content direction, RTL/LTR). So as I didn’t really relish the fact that while most of the things were going to be identical and sort of duplicated on both sides, the admin had to switch between different panels and therefore I went for the latter option and combined the two.

Now, I’d say it turned out pretty well. While most of the features are fully configurable, everything is properly within reach and the admin won’t need to go back and forth to different pages to target the desired version of the website.
