There are various scripts in the world which have different writing directions.It's a challenge to develop graphical user interface which can be adaptable to the writing direction of the script being processed.In this paper,the requirements of graphical user interface adaptable to various scripts are analyzed and four kinds of run-time modes are presented in according with writing directions of the scripts.Then the mechanism of Qt library to support scripts like Arabic,which is written from right to left,is analyzed.Based on this mechanism,a solution is proposed and implemented to support such scripts as traditional Mongolian written vertically from top to bottom.Test for this implementation shows that Graphical User Interface can automatically correspond to different directions of the scripts and this solution can satisfy the requirement of multilingual graphical user interface.
