@Sajith Gopalakrishnan Hema ,

To make the site appear in Arabic, and the site direction is from right to left, check as following:

Make sure the communication site you use is created with the site default language you want to use, in your case is Arabic.

Change the personal language and region settings via My office profile>Update profile>****How can I change language and regional settings? and then select the here link>In the In the Edit Details screen, select the ellipsis (…) and then Language and Region to see the site interface in their preferred language.

Please note the profile changes have been saved, however they may take some time to take effect. Don't worry if you don't see them right away.

@Sajith Gopalakrishnan Hema ,

If the default language is English, after adding arabic language, make sure the arabic language page has been published.

In addition, make the Arabic language as the first in Language Preference for personal language and region settings.

Then wait for a while, refresh the page:

@Sajith Gopalakrishnan Hema ,

This is not in SharePoint Online Portal, please refer to:

In addition, per my test, individual user will see the site interface based on their first language preference under multilingual sites.

Thanks a lot explaining steps in details. I have updated the language settings. I think it will take little time to get updated right.

However for the end users, it is a tedious task.What you say ?

This is necessary since multilingual feature is based on user's preferred language.

Even after updating the user preferred langauage, there is no change in the Arabic drop down. It behaves like a english site.

@Sajith Gopalakrishnan Hema ,

As mentioned before, you need to have english or spanish site published, then change the user's preferred language to switch back to other languages.
