@Hodor thanks there is no support for such a thing (at least at this time). A workaround to use when browsing lists is to create multiple list item templates with LTR / RTL directions and use them according to the current UI culture.



Another workaround for other controls is to implement a renderer for each control type and change its HorizontalOptions or XAlignment to suit the culture of the user interface.

It might be worth mentioning that the Grial UI Kit has just added RTL support.

Do you mean navigation flow?

Usually left => right means adding the page to the navigation stack, while right => left means removing.

You can extend the navigation controller in a native C # codec and create custom animations. There are many ways to do this. Here is an example in MonoTouch

public partial class ScreenController : UINavigationController
{
     private Page currentPage = null;

             private void setCurrentPage(Page p)
    {
        currentPage = p;
        //Using present View Controller: will set the current page to root.
        PresentViewController(new UINavigationController(currentPage.CreateViewController())
                            {
                                ModalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyle.FlipHorizontal,
                            }, true, null);

        //Using custom animation
        PushControllerWithTransition(this, currentPage.CreateViewController(), UIViewAnimationOptions.TransitionFlipFromLeft);
    }

    public static void PushControllerWithTransition(this UINavigationController target, UIViewController controllerToPush,
        UIViewAnimationOptions transition)
    {
        UIView.Transition(target.View, 0.75d, transition, delegate()
        {
            target.PushViewController(controllerToPush, false);
        }, null);
    }
}
